We provide en-US hash by default. The abispell module that will be packaged
too will provide the other hashes, including british, french, and enven
lithuanian :-)

BTW if the packager want to make a different version and provide a different
hash, it is up to him.

In fact I think we should encourage UNIX packager to not provide a hash
within AbiSuite but depend on one of the hash packages, whatever language it
is. We can do this in Debian surely, a probably in RPM.

Example:
abisuite depends on abispellhash
abispellhash-british provide abispellhash
abispellhash-french provide abispellhash

Install your hash, then pick AbiSuite :-)
