If we have PHP 4.3.0, we can make SquirrelSpell work with safe_mode.

This also removes the need for the 'cat' program when using older PHP,
easing the use of this plugin under Windows. The patch is provided by
Ray Ferguson, #752314. As I have only PHP 4.1.2, this is not thoroughly
tested code; please test it all so it will be verified to work in many
different environments.

 Untar SquirrelSpell into your squirrelmail/plugins directory. Modify the 
 sqspell_config.php file making sure you have ispell or aspell
 available on your system and located in PHP's path. The squirrelspell
 doesn't check for that and if it is not available, you're just going to
-get a "No errors found"  message every time. :) Quite pleasing, but not
