Teodor Sigaev 04e9704b9e Now ispell dictionary can eat dictionaries in MySpell format,
used by OpenOffice. Dictionaries are placed at
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html
Dictionary automatically recognizes format of files.

Warning. MySpell's format has limitation with compound
word support: it's impossible to mark affix as
compound-only affix. So for norwegian, german etc
languages it's recommended to use original ispell format.
For that reason I don't want to remove my2ispell
scripts, it's has workaround at least for norwegian language.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of
the main source tree.  This does not preclude their usefulness.

Each subdirectory contains a README file with information about the
module.  Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with
`gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure'
script in the top-level directory.  Some directories supply new
user-defined functions, operators, or types.  In these cases, after you have
installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database
system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file.  For example,

	$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
