Which was incorrect, at least, it did, but just not on Windows :)

No because we haven't released 1.4.2 yet.

Yes, it uses the same dictionary format. I am working on a downloader so people don't have to
install OO.org/LO to get the dictionaries though, as I have no intention of including them in SVN.

Scribus looks for them already in default locations on Linux, Windows and OSX. The spell checker
functionality currently covers the aspell functionality (and fixes quite a few bugs) and adds
checking to Story Editor.
