+Hi,
+
+Not sure you got my previous mail, but I've got few questions regarding
+the switch :
+ - aspell and myspell both provides enchant-dictionary and respectively
+  aspell-dictionary and myspell-dictionary but hunspell doesn't. Could we
+  have this kind of provides added to hunspell-xx ? When
+  suggested/required, it allows than at least one dictionary is installed.
+
+ - enchant doesn't find hunspell dict, it search in %datadir/dict/ooo
+   (where myspell install them) and hunspell dict are in %datadir/myspell/.
+   Should this be fixed at enchant level or at hunspell level ?
+
+regards
+Julien
