I'm the new (prospective) ispell package maintainer, and I don't
want to forget about this suggestion...

I maintain ipolish package. My dictionary is really huge. Of course
common user doesn't need all words in dictionary (i.e. bilogical terms).
Then I prepared some new mechanizm called update-ispell-hash.
/usr/lib/ispell/polish.hash is a symlink to /var/lib/ispell/polish.hash
The second file is builded from "subdictionaries"
(/usr/lib/ispell/dict/*
folder). Subdictionaries have a description in polish.info file.
Format:
Source: polish
Affix: polish.aff
Hash: polish.hash
Dictionary: A
Default: yes
Description: Base dictionary
blah blah blah
Dictionary: B
Default: no
Descripion: Rare words
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
Dictionary: biology
Default: no
Description: Biology

I've wroten my script in perl and it is really easy to adaptate for
other ispell dictionaries. If you are interested in this tool,
please look at ipolish (= 1.0.990527-2).
This script could be a part of ispell package..
