Nynorsk dictionary severely incomplete

Hi all,

I wish to use aspell with the Nynorsk (nn) dictionary, but it is proving
difficult owing to the extreme number of false positives it emits. The
dictionary seemingly does not recognize, for instance, a-infinitives, or a
variety of alternative noun declensions.

A comprehensive list of Nynorsk words with all recognized declined forms may
easily be downloaded from the website of the National Library of Norway[1]. I
would convert this into an aspell dictionary file myself if I only could figure
out how to, but the documentation[2] instructs me to download something via FTP
or CVS, or to post to a mailing list, aspell-dict, which, according to
Savannah's index of lists[3], does not exist.

I am happy to help with this, and appreciate any advice on how to proceed.
