Yes, I was wondering for a french dictionary for myspell, and I have
seen an RFP about that (#177322).

I agree it will be more clean than packaging myspell-fr from the zip.

Nicolas, if you agree to create myspell dictionary from ifrench or=20
ifrench-gut, could you please make your package available (on=20
people.d.o for example) at the same time as you upload it? It=20
sometimes takes a lot of time for a package to be accepted by the=20
ftp-masters, and a lot of people are waiting for a French dictionary
in openoffice.org.
