There's also JDictP, which I've made a Lojban dictionary for but wasn't 
impressed at all with the results.

This application is only 360 lines of code. Flashcard programs are 
really trivial to write, so its hardly worth having many people working 
on the same thing. Also, I tend to like the flexibility of writing 
things from scratch.

But thanks for the tip.
