Some googling lead me to an openoffice wiki page where they list dictionaries and hyphenation tables. There is a link to a tool named hyphen [1] (which seems to be part of the hunspell project). There is also a (pdf) paper by LÁSZLÓ NÉMETH [2] that explains the algorithm. I tried to run it through pdftotxt but the tables and tables and figures need some serious hand-editing to make them readable. Let me know if this is the paper you are talking about and if you would like me to do this hand-editing.
