    Just a note here. On SourceForge we list all the
    dictionaries by locale, but they in fact can resolve
    several links to one single dictionary. For example
    en-GB, en-AU, en-IE, etc all resolve
    to "british.hash".

    When (if) this feature of the installer is automated,
    it must know about this or it could end up downloading
    the same file several times over.

    Nice work (: Andrew Dunbar.
