I’ve applied them all and adjusted the commit log to follow our
conventions.  Thanks!

There’s a minor issue: the URL computed for the pt-pt dictionary is
incorrect, because the URL should read “pt_PT” and not “pt-pt”.  It
turns out that the tarball was found on the tarballs.nixos.org
content-addressed mirror, so it builds flawlessly.  However, it’d be
nice to adjust ‘aspell-dictionary’ so that it can compute the right
upstream URL for edge cases like this one.

Would you like to give it a try?

Future work!  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
