Aspell still comes with a pspell compatibility wrapper, so applications using pspell don't need to be rewritten. Last time I checked the Abiword source (a couple months ago), some of auto-whatever macros needed to be modified to work properly with the new pspell.h header. At the time, I found that Gentoo had such a patch, but it did not apply cleanly to Debian's Abiword source. I would be really surprised in this wasn't fixed in Abiword CVS yet. But, anyway, if you're interested, here's the patch I found:
