oxt/* is what I've been modifying with prototypes already. There's  
also properties that show in I think extension manager and maybe even  
settings page? Translations are of course also needed for language  
support, but that's relatively easy at the moment.

Also, I didn't seem to get os x version to work without switching the  
standalone option in Makefile, so I suppose licences are necessary as  
well. I don't think I got them to display though, maybe it only  
triggers when autoinstalled?

With my work macbook I have two HFST dictionaries, omorfi ans  
greenlandic, which seems to work, so my initial impression would be  
that the dictionaries can be distributed much in the same way as  
hunspell ones. For linux world it's easy to imagine distros with  
language packages and dictionaries. For other systems, any of the  
options above seems reasonable. One other scheme I've thought in  
conjunction with zhfst format is small dictionary manager which could  
provide one-click installation of dictionaries from the web and for  
example autoupdate for those?
