Inspired by the little thesaurus script today's "pull" brought home,
this little script queries a relatively complete en/bg and bg/en
dictionary on the http://sa.dir.bg web site.

I've sent them an email to tell them about the wonders of utf-8, but I
doubt they'll switch from the venerable Windows-1251 cyrillic
encoding, so there's a key in the script for transliterating all
cyrillic queries, or if you wish you can type in cyrillic and it'll do
the transliteration for you.

also available at:

	http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/sadict/

I don't think this should make it in the default Plan 9 distribution,
unless Plan 9 becomes the OS of choice in Bulgaria in the next 30
minutes.

PS: I used it just now to check the meaning of 'venerable', it works :)
