.aar binary format allows to specify struct format for index item, such as ">LL" or ">LQ" as understood by [Python's struct] module(http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html#format-characters). There doesn't seem to be an equivalent struct library for Java, so Aard Dictionary for Android doesn't read format spec, simply assumes ">LL". Some Wikipedia's, such as itwiki of May 2011 are compiled with ">LQ" index item format and thus don't work on Android.
