Thanks for the patch.

I wonder whether goldendict could not use the dict-wn package?  I have
build the package on my machine and have seen that all other dict
formatted dictionaries which are installed on my machine are parsed.  So
could you please verify whether dict-wn works and we might be able to
sparse an additional large binary package (and additional Ruby
Build-Depends as well as additional build time)?

In case you confirm that dict-wn can not be used and the additional
package is really needed I'll upload as soon as I have fast upload
connection.

Kind regards and thanks for your interest in WordNet
