.cwl files are just compressed wordlists

$ preunzip foo.cwl

will give the uncompressed wordlist, foo.wl. Edit at your will and then

$ prezip foo.wl

will give you back the compressed wordlist. Any official aspell dict should
have a makefile to create the hash file and install it. Look there for how
that is done.
