Correction. We can't easily depend on all the myspell-XX packages since
some of the dictionaries used by aap recipes are not shipped in those
packages.

The solution I propose (with solves both the above issue and the
non-freeness) is the following:
- use as source tarballs for the vim-spellfiles source package the
  following:
  - the aap recipes took from the vim svn
  - all the dictionaries used by the recipes

We then use as version of the package a date stamp and consider it a
sort of svn snapshot. Of course we need to patch the recipes so that the
dictionaries are not downloaded but used locally.

Comments?
