convert Buckwalter's Arabic encoding to UTF-8

Wow, you're as quick now as you've been with Hebrew...

It seems very nice, however it uses Buckwalter's idiosyncratic encoding! Which
is not very usefull as-is... I attach ad-hoc scripts that I wrote to recode it
all into UTF-8 Arabic. Please excuse me for having troubles with tr and UTF8,
and please make the script more presentable before publishing them.

I have one other problem with hunspell-ar: why are you linking the dictionary
into all Arabic-speaking nations? Shouldn't ar_EG be kept for future
Egypt-specific dictionary, etc?

PS, I envy Arabic. Hunspell loads it so quickly comparing to Hebrew. I should
learn Hunspell's affix compression systax, and try to use it for Hebrew, too.
