Another take on vim-spellfiles

[James Vega]

Since the current incarnation of our spellfiles packages are gathering
quite a bit of dust, I took a look at Vim's ftp.  It appears to have
pre-generated spellfiles available[0].

If we were to just download these directly and package them, it would
considerably ease the maintenance of the spellfiles packages.  We
wouldn't have to worry about whether our computer could handle building
the spellfiles, fiddling with various patches to get the AAP recipes
working, etc.

The thing I'm not sure about is whether this is a viable path for our
packages since these pre-generated sources are not the preferred form of
modification.  Am I correct in my hesitation?  Does it really boil down
to either cleaning up/rewriting the current spellfiles packaging or
relying on the spellfile plugin to download the dictionaries when the
user tries to use a missing language?
