No thanks, the above link is really the best, have already wrote a look-up
method.

I'll soon „publish” the source in the git together with a nice script which

- fetches the dictionary source in the manner Debian likes it
- writes debian/control (the file which controls which packages get finally
  build/ contains information and package descriptions)
- fetches above mentioned code-table for off-line usage

BTW, with the source I really mean the FreeDict source files, which we then
build.

BTW, could please someone check, whether all dependencies listed in the
top-Makefile of the FreeDict SVN are still needed for building the databases? I
found this list to be quite long.

Thanks
Sebastian
