Add it to ispell such that it works in Unix; IMP's just calling ispell
with the '-d dictionary' flag. On my system, ispell stores its
dictionaries in /local/lib/ispell-3.1.20/, which means that on yours
it might be something like /usr/lib/ispell or
/usr/share/ispell. You'll use the 'buildhash' and 'munchlist'
tools to turn the wordlist into an ispell dictionary. Kuenning
recommends a different munchlist for languages with large numbers of
affixes or 8-bit characters:
