Myspell -> Hunspell plan?

Hi

Vim-7.3 currently creates spelling dictionaries from Myspell dictionaries.
I am wondering whether there is any plan to support Hunspell dictionaries.

The French dictionary at http://www.dicollecte.org/download.php?prj=fr states:

=== [ fr] ===
Ces dictionnaires pour Myspell ne seront plus mis à jour, Myspell ayant
été remplacé par Hunspell dans la plupart des applications.
=========

Which means in English:
=========
These dictionaries for Myspell won't be kept up-to-date, Myspell
being replaced by Hunspell in most applications.
=========

It's a pity if we can't use the latest dictionaries in Vim anymore.
I have no idea how much work is involved in supporting Hunspell.

When trying to run :mkspell on the Hunspell French dictionary,
available at...

http://www.dicollecte.org/download/fr/hunspell-fr-moderne-v3.8.zip

... Vim reports the following messages:

Unrecognized or duplicate item in fr-moderne.aff line 10: WORDCHARS

It creates a dictionary for Vim, but when doing :spelldump to see
words in the created dictionay, I see a lot of junk (words beginning
with 0, words with /= at the end for example) so Vim does not
understand Hunspell files.

The help file spell.txt has notes about WORDCHARS, KEY, BREAK
which don't seem essentials but there is no note about ICONV
and OCONV in Vim's help. I see some doc here:
