+Are we making any progress with this. Currenly Hunspell doesn't work in Lyx 
+(error no dictionaries installed and digging through the Hunspell spec file it 
+installs a patch and gives the dictionary path as /usr/share/dict/ooo:
+but there is only a one empty file in that directory called dictionary.lst
+
+Hunspell works on libreoffice.
