Have to ellaborate a bit more. Back when I last tried to maintain vim-spellfiles, most of the languages were reasonable to build. There were just a couple which completely crippled my computer when building. Bram appears receptive to reviewing an fully fleshed out version of the libhunspell patch, so I'd prefer to focus efforts on cleaning that up and getting it upstreamed. That would also avoid duplicating efforts on keeping multiple sources of dictionaries updated. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
