Hunspell uses the same kind of files, but adds more options. Vim should
be able to use most of the Hunspell files, with some modifications.

I don't know what the ICONV and OCONV items mean.
The page you refer to simply say input and output conversion, without
explaining what that means. It's a common problem for Hunspell that
it's largely undefined how it works. You may need to look at the source
code...

For the dictionaries, it's usually best to get them from the OpenOffice
site, as that's what is downloaded automatically, thus should be kept
up-to-date.
