Ronald,

Attached is a script I wrote for packaging the English dictionary. I 
wrote it while considering packaging the whole of Aspell, but I'm glad 
to see Gareth and you do it :-).  It shouldn't be hard to make the 
script more generic to support multiple languages, and I'd be happy to 
work with you to get it into shape.  If it doesn't look useful, that's 
fine too.

The script assumes it is in aspell-en-0.51-0-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES and that 
there's also an untarred version of the pristine sources in 
aspell-en-0.51-0.  Something like the following would do it:

$ cd ~/src
$ tar xvjf /cygdrive/c/Archive/GNU/aspell/aspell-en-0.51-0.tar.bz2
$ mv aspell-en-0.51-0 aspell-en-0.51-0-1
$ tar xvjf /cygdrive/c/Archive/GNU/aspell/aspell-en-0.51-0.tar.bz2
$ mkdir aspell-en-0.51-0-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES
$ cp /tmp/aspell-en-build.sh aspell-en-0.51-0-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/
$ cd aspell-en-0.51-0-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/
$ ./aspell-en-build.sh

-- Andrew

P.S. My preference for dictionary package names is aspell-LN-<version> 
(i.e., matching the original package name), but if the general consensus 
is to use aspell-dict-LN-<version> I can go along with that.
