Indeed, Babel provides support for them; all you need to do is to write an 
appropriate <language>.ldf file, put it somewhere in your texmf path, and add 
it to the argument in the \usepackage[<languages>]{babel} command. It's not 
hard once you know how to do it. "Redneck" is only an example :)

I may attack the hyphenation problem with mkpattern, from CTAN, and build some 
word and affix lists for hunspell for the text editor.

One thing at a time, however...

I don't know. Perhaps it can: it may not provide an interface to the program, 
but I'm positive you may add more locales to the dictionary.lst 
in /share/dict/ooo. All you need to do is to have the appropriate hunspell 
files.

Cheers,

Luis.
