PHP OpenOffice.org dictionary installer

These people have coded a spellchecker add-on for phpBB2 called phpSpell, and one thing that stroke me is that there’s only one .dic file that one can use with it. And it’s not in the OpenOffice.org format because their dictionary installer doesn’t support the OOorg word modifiers (such as /Y to say the word can be suffixed by -ly).
So I’m taking up the task of writing an installer that supports OOorg modifiers, just for the challenge it represents, and for the great thing it will be to let users be able use the phpSpell script with OOorg dictionaries (I for one, am planning to incorporate phpSpell in b2, so that’s a great motivation to code this support !).

Talking about words, here’s a Googlewhack: hayfield interlocutrice.
