Dom, I think that Abi will only work with these hash files. ie. With the
parameters,

ie

little endian ispell 3.1 hash file, 8-bit, capitalization, 52 flags and
128 string characters

I suggest we create a new module in CVS, called:

abiIspellHashes

and placxe the latest versions of ispell hashes that are known to work
with abi in there. That way we can keep our own collection.

As far distributing them, I'll make one rpm per language which does
nothing but install the appropriate hash into the AbiSuite/dictionary
directory.

Coiuld other platform developers write a similar install script per
language?

In addition I suggest we also ship an abi-with-lot which contains all the
ispell dictionaries.

Cheers

Martin
