I'll take care of stardict and all dictionaries except for
stardict-hnd-* family. Stardict is used by many people and works
fine except for minor issues.

I'm not sure I'll fix bug 568472, since this may require a lot of
coding and result will be non-stable in the long run: google often
changes API of their services.

As for dictionaries:
- I'm interested in dicts only from download.huzheng.org, since
other sorces are not reliable and legal status of many (most?)
dictionaries is unclear.
- Many users (including myself) install dictionaries
themselves, outside of portage control.
- Please note for the future: app-dicts/stardict-* packages can be
used not only by stardict, but by sdcv and goldendict as well, so
not be hasty to remove them :)

Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
