NB. current omorfi has a few regressions dictionary-wise to e.g. latest
stable.

For voikko you'll most likely have to ./configure --enable-hfst, to get
the experimental HFST backend.

For HFST backend you can cp ${prefix}/share/omorfi/*
${HOME}/.voikko/2/mor-hfst/ and rename stuff like so:

 ls ~/.voikko/2/mor-hfst/
hyphenation.hwfst  hyp.hwfst  mor.hwfst  spl.hwfst  sug.hwfst
voikko-fi_FI.pro 

I'm sure I'll change the scheme at least to be more verbose before the
final release, and most likely also more configurable, but this works
with current SVN.
