Thanks, that seems to work.

I created a package and uploaded to
http://www.opkg.org/package_90.html for anyone who is interested. The
source is hosted at http://github.com/olofsj/swedish-illume.

I understand it would make the dictionary format more complicated.
Maybe it could be split into 2 files, one with general configuration
data such as a normalisation table, an icon etc, and then a raw
dictionary file like there is now.
