Requires you to create the "hyphenation" directory in the GreD or CurProcD[1] location and using nsIZipReader[2], move the hyphenation directory contents there.

In a bootstrapped extension, we can do this during the `install()` and delete the files during the `uninstall()`.[3]

Rambina, sorry this a week later than I said. If you're still interested in working on this issue, I've created the addon for this project that installs and removes the hyphenation files.

Closing. We won't be using an add-on. Instead we'll enhance our DLC component to handle this type of content.
