Those are Rafael and me. IIRC that file contains exactly what was asked for,
the identifiers for each dict in the same format as ispell-default, I do not
remember any of us suggested that any part of that entries directly provide
the hash name. I am afraid there was a misunderstanding here.

There were no changes in this code since just before sarge was released. So,
I am surprised that nobody has complained about this before. I have tried
using ispell-wrapper directly under emacs and the double pipe works as
expected, so I think is the easiest way to go, after selected spellchecker
using either
aspell -d xx_XX
or
ispell-wrapper --language=the_full_entry_from_ispell-dicts-list.txt
with parenthesis escaped in the_full_entry_from_ispell-dicts-list.txt. I
have been playing with the perl snippet
$entry =~ s/([^\\]|^)(\(|\))/$1\\$2/g;
to do this, only if not previously escaped. I will eventually add this to
ispell-wrapper, but we are too close to lenny (I hope).
While ispell-wrapper is a perl script, it should put little load on your
system, it calls ispell through exec and ends early.

Nothing, there is no first field, each line is a full field by itself.
