Converting it from .aff and .dic to .spl and .sug takes 2.3
seconds here and 99 MB of RAM.

Note that I need to patch the .aff files to actually make it work
properly because vim doesn't implement all the same things
hunspell does.

I was looking at the libhunspell patch upstream, which seems to be
going nowhere, the pull requests was closed because it wasn't
complete and nobody seems to want to fix it.

I have no idea what those files are used for, so I can't even test
that they are correct or not. I assume that it might have something
to do with emacs, but I'm a vim user, not an emacs user.
