Problem with current dictionary.lst file

In order to get rid of the problems involved with the dictionary.lst file at upgrade (see issue 72559) we have to forsake the use of it and provide the necessary information about dictionaries in the configuration.

Already provided configuration entries

• Spell checker entry

A spell checker needs to make an entry stating it's implementation name and the format name of the data files it can use in the Linguistic.xcu. For the current Hunspell implementation in CWS tl41 it will look like:

<node oor:name="ServiceManager">
    <node oor:name="SpellCheckers">
        <node oor:name="org.openoffice.lingu.MySpellSpellChecker" oor:op="fuse">
            <prop oor:name="SupportedDictionaryFormats" oor:type="oor:string-list">
                <value>DICT_SPELL</value>
            </prop>
        </node>

</node>
