According to the `Available Aspell Dictionaries' web page at

 o ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html

the latest dictionaries for aspell 0.60 have the following general
filename structure:

 aspell<X>-<2 or 3 letter ISO code>-<A>.<B>[.<C>]-<D>.tar.bz2

or

 aspell<X>-<2 or 3 letter ISO code>-<YYYDDMM>-<D>.tar.bz2

where X = empty, 5 or 6
      A,B,C,D = numbers
      YYYDDMM = a date

I would propose to call the cygwin packages like the following:

 aspell-<2 or 3 letter ISO code>-<A>.<B>[.<C>].<D>-<Cygwin minor version>.tar.bz2

or

 aspell-<2 or 3 letter ISO code>-<YYYDDMM>.<D>-<Cygwin minor version>.tar.bz2

I have the new versions of german and polish dictionaries ready for
upload when this will be accepted.

The Swedish dictionary files (maintained by Stefan Björnelund) have to
be rebuild as well as the aspell documentation states:

   The dictionary format has changed so dictionaries will need to be
   recompiled.

      All data, by default, is now included in `LIBDIR/aspell-0.60' so
   that multiple versions of Aspell can more peacefully coexist.  This
   included both the dictionaries and the language data files which were
   stored in `SHAREDIR/aspell' before Aspell 0.60.

      The format of the character data files has changed.  The new
   character data files are installed with Aspell so you should not have
   to worry about it unless you made a custom one.

Ciao
