Back in the early 90s, SIL released a program called PC-KIMMO.  It was a 
two level morphological transducer.  IIRC, it came with a reasonable 
size lexicon; and if you ran it in generate mode, it would presumably 
output a list of all inflected forms of all the words in that lexicon. 
And it should be easy to add more words to the lexicon.

The C source code for PC-KIMMO is stil available for free:

and I'm pretty sure it runs under Linux.
