This patch changes the default value of 'dict-dir' to correspond to ~/.guix-profile/lib/aspell rather than $prefix/lib/aspell-X.Y. This is not strictly necessary for the 'aspell' program itself since one can simply set "ASPELL_CONF=dict-dir $HOME/.guix-profile/lib/aspell". However it is necessary for applications that use libaspell since 'ASPELL_CONF' is not honored in this case.
