I've extracted the following from a recent email conversation I had with Geoff Kuenning, the upstream author/maintainer:
> ...munchlist.X contains this comment, which may be relevant:> > > # -w Passed on to ispell (specify chars that are part of a word) > # Unfortunately, special characters must be quoted twice > # rather than once when invoking this script. Also, since > # buildhash doesn't accept this option, the final ispell -l > # step ignores it, making it somewhat less than useful. I've done a bit of investigation since your last mail. It turns out that the problem is caused by icombine, which doesn't support the -w switch. Adding support, and modifying munchlist to pass the switch to icombine, isn't very hard. At the same time, I can fix buildhash to take the same switch so that it'll work properly throughout.
