Hi,

I'm wondering what would be the best way to handle different dictionaries
for the same language. In german, for instance, there are two different
dictionaries for two different spellings: the old one, and the reformed
one which was introduced some 5 years ago. In debian, we have two
corresponding ispell dictionaries for german: ingerman and iogerman,
which would be invoked by ispell as "-d ngerman" and "-d ogerman"
respectively.  

Maybe the best way would be to provide a way in the guile-interface
to define the preferred dictionary for some language.
Currently I, when building a package for debian, can only hard-code
one of these two into edit_spell.cc, thus attracting the eternal hate
of one half of the native german speakers :-(

-Ralf.
