there are several others threads.

well, we did answer all raised questions and I don't want to begin
another wave. The only problem I see is that some people doesn't like
introducing SQL syntax, they claim functions would be enough. SQL is a
nice language to manipulate db objects, finally. 
Also, select to fts_create_dictionary(bla-bla....) looks pretty ugly,
pretty artificial.

CREATE FULLTEXT DICTIONARY dictname 
[    {   INIT  init_function        | LEXIZE  lexize_function        | OPTION opt_text } 
[ ... ]] LIKE template_dictname;

select
