That is intentional, Romain Francoise and us decided to keep
emacs-snapshot as free of extra stuff (including dictionaries-common)
as possible, so I excluded it from that file. We however support emacs22,
which currently uses 'old' dictionaries-common stuff, patched
for better integration with Debian default selection and other things.

I made some experiments to integrate ispell.el and flyspell.el from emacs22
into dictionaries-common. However they do not work out-of-the-box with
emacs21 and xemacs21, and made only some of the needed changes. Not yet sure
if required effort will be reasonable, since many of the fixes in emacs-cvs
are already in dictionaries-common .el files. I think the only real thing is
the aspell dict looking mechanism, which should not be a problem as long as
aspell dicts register themselves with the dict-common system.

I should not write this quickly, this should work for ispell as long as an
english.hash is available.
