Thank you for first reviewing!!

Well, before fixing spec/srpm: 
> Questions:

Only one. So always the last one is used unless mecab user
overwrites what dictionary to use from command line option.

However allowing to install multiple dictionaries even if
only the last one is used by default is not bad IMO because
sysadmin can manually edit mecabrc if he/she wants.

> * What happens if all dicts get uninstalled?
The core "mecab" binary becomes useless,
because "mecab" is a utility to analyze the "structure" of 
Japanese sentence and it surely requires one dictionary. 

Still some other binaries (under /usr/libexec/mecab) 
can be used (mainly for compiling dictionaries) and rebuilding
mecab dictionary (currently mecab-jumandic) uses the binaries
under /usr/libexec/mecab, which don't require /etc/mecabrc .
