I have no links but it can all be done with synonym tables. I'm sure somewhere on the net there are full lists of the Spanish regular and irregular verbs (verbs which do not follow the conjugation rules). Then using basic text processing you could generate all of the declensions for the most common regular verbs.
And then a custom stemmer would do the basics like adjective-mente -> adjective.
