I'll be splitting out next week from OOo the "hyphenation dictionaries",
i.e. hyphenation rules as to where best to break a word if it doesn't
fit in the remaining space in a line. That way they can be independently
updated, and perhaps more importantly as a side effect this will allow
other ones to be packaged and just "dropped in" and auto-detected so as
to get proper hyphenation support for languages where hyphenation rules
exist but are not part of vanilla OOo, e.g. swedish, slovak etc. 

So I'll have about 11 very small and very similar packages to get
reviewed, it'd make sense if the same person reviewed the lot so as to
not have to revisit old ground each time, like we did for the spellcheck
dictionaries. Any volunteer ?
