I would need a diff between the original .dic and .aff files you
downloaded and the files used for ":mkspell".
I notice that the OpenOffice.org dictionary was change quite a bit. I'll
get the new files. The previous corrections to the .dic file are not
needed now (mostly duplicate words).

The Myspell site should be helpful.
