One thing that may be used directly with Vim is the file mthesaur.txt
from Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/3202/. But I haven't
found it terribly useful (way too many synonyms).

Another possibility is to download an .oxt file, change the suffix to
.zip, uncompress it, and open the thesaurus .dat file (it is a text
file). I have taken a quick look at one of them, and it should not be
too hard to turn it into a format usable by Vim: removing the first
line and the parts in parentheses should be enough.

Hope this helps,
Nicola
