I'd also vote for a command line utility, because of flexibility.

But I also want to point you to my new dict plugin[1]. I would like to see it
supported by your frontend.

Its file format compatible to Stardict[2] and is almost the same as the one of
the current dict plugin.
The index files look as follows:
        struct {
            char word[]; /* variable, zero-terminated */
            unit32_t offset;
            uint32_t size;
        };
Both uint32_ts are big endian, that's all.
