Link EO word results to an EO<->EO dictionary. #10

It would be nice to be able to click on an Esperanto word and have that immediately searched in an EO<->EO dictionary. That dictionary won't be part of the Tuja Vortaro because it is too much data to load client-side, it doesn't display nicely, and it already exists sufficiently well on other websites. So we might as well link to them!

ReVo is GPLv2 and already integrated into the project. It would be easy to link to them. It would also be easy to check that the word exists in ReVo, so we don't create bad links. The downside is that ReVo is unofficial and not necessarily complete. The upside is that it often has very good examples.

Vortaro.net is closed-source (SaaSS) but authoritative, in the sense that it is the Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto. We can't know ahead of time whether a link will be valid, but we can attempt to trim affixes. It also doesn't have good examples.

@pizzamaker, do you have any thoughts?

Sounds like ReVo is our best option here. But are you sure about linking? I'm not sure how that would look like.
