Something vaguely like what you're after is at : http://home.clara.net/carrot/kernmss/tgk/ Look at the files "allex.pdf" and "allex.html" Not exactly a dictionary, but a similar layout. Done from a flat-file 'database' made into html and latex with a tcl script, then the pdf file produced with pdflatex. Maybe you could hack some of my code/latex output into the shape you need?
