       --with-system-dicts
       --with-external-dict-dir=/usr/share/hunspell
       --with-external-hyph-dir=/usr/share/hyphen
       --with-external-thes-dir=/usr/share/mythes
       --with-dict=ALL
       --without-myspell-dicts
               + are dictionaries that interesting to developers
                 anyway ? I suggest not migrating these.
--with-system-dicts does not make sense on Windows. Even on Linux
using system wide dictionaries makes sense only in case of
spellcheckers, a lot of programs use them. However, I'm not sure if
hyphenation patterns are used by anything other than LibO (Scribus
maybe?). I also don't know if thesaurus can be used by other software
than LibO. Not all Linux distributions package all dictionaries for
all languages, or the packages may be outdated. Therefore I think that
it is very comfortable to have the dictionaries installed out of box.
I think that we should include them in the official LibreOffice build.
Packagers can set  --with-system-dicts if they are sure, that their
distro packages up-to-date dictionaries.
BTW. the word "myspell" in the option is misleading, it should be
"hunspell" because nowadays a lot of dictionaries use Hunspell
features and are not compatible with the old MySpell library.
Best regards,
Andras
