  Please remove clutter-creating soft links to same spanish dictionary

Bug description:
  Hi,

  myspell-es creates a bunch of softlinks under /usr/share/hunspell for
  spanish dictionaries for latin american countries. This only creates,
  in my opinion, two problems:

  1) It misleads the user into thinking that these dictionaries are
  actually distinct, say, as the UK and the US english ones. They are
  obviously the same.

  2) It creates a lot of visual clutter in the applications that use
  them. When I open the spelling language chooser in Thunderbird, for
  example, the list of meaningless choices fills the screen, and it
  actually makes hard to find the choice I care about (mostly just
  switching between english-us and spanish-they-are-all-the-same).

  Please consider this a minor/wishlist bug, with the suggested option
  of:

  1) Removing all es_++ options but one.
  2) Choosing that one for the user (easier, say es_ES ) or giving the user the option of using whatever suffix they want for their country, but let's be straight with them and let them now this is vanilla dictionary.

  Gracias.
