You can create a ~/Library/OmniComponents/Omni.dictionary (or  
/LocalLibrary/OmniComponents/Omni.dictionary) and, using the format of  
the one inside the app-wrapper, add all the entries you want.

Pretty cool, huh?  This is the same directory where you can drop your  
own .omni bundles (like SSL, which we have working in-house but can't  
release until we figure out the legalities).

release.
