Bug#485500: hunspell: doesn't consider locale setting

[Stefan Zechner <stef@zechner77.de>]

Package: hunspell
Followup-For: Bug #485500

> Do you happen to have the DICTIONARY environment variable set?

Yepp. That's the problem. Some very old remains in my .bashrc

Although it would be nice to get a bit more information when dictionary
selection fails:

[~] export DICTIONARY=test
[~] hunspell -D
Can't open affix or dictionary files.

In this case I would expect a warning that dictionary from variable
DICTIONARY is not available and continue with selection from LANG (or
whatever has lower priority)

Regards,
Stefan
