Hello. Some time ago I've modified stardict.eclass and added optional possibility based on 'gzip' USE flag to compress index and dict data files. But I realized too late that I need to document this USE flag somewhere, and since it'll do similar things for all stardict-* dictionaries (heh, more than 5 packages...) I'm going to add it as global USE flag. Also since gzip USE flag already exist in x11-misc/openclipart I'll change 'gzip' to 'gzip-dict'. So if there will be no objections I'll add new 'gzip-dict' global USE flag in 2-3 days from now.
