Jeremy, take a look at our Languages index
<http://www.seul.org:8080/wiki/edu/LanguageSoftware>.  These are
all the language programs we've found for Linux.  Look
particularly at uspell, which is a Perl program that might work
for or be adaptable to work for your example program above.  If
you do hack up such a program, let us know so we can add it to
the listing!
