The version 0.01 is temporary.  You can use 0.51.1 which it what I will 
name the next release.  Eventually all dictionaries will be either 
'aspell5' or 'aspell6' to make the distinction between those made for 
Aspell 0.50 and those made for Aspell 0.60 clear and to allow the version 
number to match the upstream version of the source word list.
