Yes, that's what dictionary publishers do.

Not if you use a script. I created a very simple VB script that will add inflections to an existing .html file from a tab delimited inflection list file.
I.e., it parses each definition between
<idx:orth>...</idx:orth> and then tries to find a matching entry in the inflections list. The tough part is finding a free and comprehensive inflection list. (I found a nice Spanish one as part of an Open Source part-of-speech tagger.) If you find one and cannot figure out how to add inflections, I might be able to help you.
Ideally, both dictionary data and inflections should be Open Source/GPL2 so that the resulting dictionary can be posted on MR.
BTW,
Dukoan Lite has built-in StarDict support.
