I suggest not migrating these.
--with-system-dicts does not make sense on Windows. Even on Linux using system wide dictionaries makes sense only in case of spellcheckers, a lot of programs use them. However, I'm not sure if hyphenation patterns are used by anything other than LibO (Scribus maybe?). I also don't know if thesaurus can be used by other software than LibO. Not all Linux distributions package all dictionaries for all languages, or the packages may be outdated. Therefore I think that it is very comfortable to have the dictionaries installed out of box. I think that we should include them in the official LibreOffice build. Packagers can set --with-system-dicts if they are sure, that their distro packages up-to-date dictionaries. BTW. the word "myspell" in the option is misleading, it should be "hunspell" because nowadays a lot of dictionaries use Hunspell features and are not compatible with the old MySpell library.
