Seems reasonable to me.  :)

Perhaps disabling it in Pico is a bad decision (maybe sysadmin has
provided a link from /usr/bin/spell to ispell), but I have complete
confidence in the port maintainer to make a decision regarding
that.  :)  So long as he leaves it evident in the port Makefile what
he is doing (haven't checked).
