-Subject: avoid worldlist*zip and hunspell*zip for hunspell
-
-Let's not create worldlist*zip and hunspell*zip for hunspell. We are not going
-to distribute them or use them in any way. Saves us a zip build-depdency
-but more importantly it does not create "binary" files in speller/hunspell
-we would need to manually remove it clean.
