Looking closer at the patch it only seems to be needed to have the
command run in the foreground even under X.  But I can do that with
Romano's idea to call system() #ifdef XWINDOWS, and #else call
run_program, so I don't need to include the patch in ispell.tgz.  But
there may be other X-programs for which JED should wait.

In emacs it's done one line at a time, probably to waste less resources.
Emacs' ispell.el is 3000 lines, so there may be easier ways.

By now I have tweaked it, but not to check the region.  Then I went back
to my own ispell.sl and now that does check a region, in a badly broken
way (handing the words one by one).  I haven't made up my mind yet.  If
anyone wants to help, send me an email.
