At least the man page get's installed with most binary packages.
I tried to include some info about the pattern files and how
they can be downloaded - please give it a review.
Also we would need to install the install-hyphenation script, so
that it becomes part of binary packages.
If we do that it would have to be renamed to
dillo-install-hyphenation or something like that.
Does this sound ok?

Cheers,
Johannes

PS: For me the documentation issue for hyphenation patterns is the
only thing left before we could make a release candidate, or am I
missing something?
