 '''Problem'''

 When I download and place the de_DE_frami.dic an de_DE_frami.aff files
 under the proper install dir (`C:\Program Files
 (x86)\Pidgin\spellcheck\share\enchant\myspell`) pidgin will fail to load
 them resulting in spellchecking to be unavailable. When I rename the files
 to de_DE.dic and de_DE.aff everything works fine.

 '''Solution'''
 1. Add a clever autoselection which can handle such cases
 2. Use the openoffice `dictionary.lst` to identify which files shall be
 used. Such a file is already present in my installation so I guess it
 ships with pidgin. Example entry which would solve the problem for german
