Hi, Jon. 

Please keep mailing the relevant mailing list, so Rene (hunspell maintainer)
can read these messsages and contribute. Since this thread originated in 
debian-openoffice mailing list I am using it instead of moving the thread 
to dict-common-dev.

If I understand correctly Swedish has a lot of compound words, so ispell,
aspell and old myspell are not good for it and hunspell is highly desirable.
If that is true, old myspell-sv could be used just as basis for a limited
aspell Swedish dictionary (I see in aspell site that current Swedish dict
there is ancient) or simply removed once proper upgrade path is verified to
work (an aspell dict can also be generated out of iswedish).

I thinks the above is what you need, but Rene may find I missed something
else.
