bsdmainutils, wenglish: where is /usr/dict/words?



Hi all,

I'm sure there's a bug here, but I'm not sure who I should submit it to. 
After upgrading to the latest slink, my /usr/dict/words file has
disappeared.

Upon further investigation, it seems that wenglish has moved the file to
/usr/share/dict/words.  That's not such a bad thing, but the "look" command
in bsdmainutils doesn't know about it, so it still looks in /usr/dict.

I humbly suggest that we fix look to check _both_ places (for compatibility
with full _and_ partial upgrades to slink) while simultaneously symlinking
/usr/share/dict to /usr/dict when it becomes possible.

Thanks,

Avery
