Oh, what I forgot to mention in my initial mail and the one cited is that=
 OOo
now can handle separate dirs for the dicts.

So I wanted to do (after this transition is over) do something like:

/usr/share/hunspell: myspell/hunspell dicts
/usr/share/hyphen: hyphenation patterns
/usr/share/mythes or similar: thesauri

The info file stuff then doesn't work either, and no direct compat with l=
enny anyway.

So...
