STOP!!!!!

There is general concent in -core that the only reason why Webster
survives in FreeBSD is because of a couple of dependencies.

Before anybody start to import elbonian dictionaries, zip codes for
Halland or phone prefixes in the Vatican City, please understand
that it will be yanked with no notice again.  

FreeBSD is not a public library.

Feel free to make ports out of such data.
