I was just about to say this myself.
Something I have been wondering about though, is the
possibility of having either one "User" language
where the user can set it up to point to a dictionary
(with encoding file) she's found somewhere, or even to
have a "Other" option in the language dialog where the
user can enter missing ISO 639 tags, or custom tags
along the lines of "x-klingon" which is the way that
language tags are supposed to be extended.
I say this because over the past several months a few
people mentioned this or that language that they've
either found a hash file for or want to build one for.
This would be very cool for those people.
I know there will still be problems when hash files
are built with the wrong flags, etc for AbiWord.
