Has anybody ever attempted constructing a french version of the TeX
hyphenation table? 

Or are the rules sufficiently similar that building such a table would be an
overkill? I'm asking for people whose production is about 60% French/ 40%
English.

I've been relying on software for much too long to answer that question
myself... The text processor I used as an undergrad had been hacked to
hyphenate French. Then came the WYSIWIG text processor, where in case of doubt
you move words around to avoid learning the rules... Then came progress(?) and
a need to go back to TeX's wonderful world of batch processing...
