Conjugate prior of the Dirichlet distribution?

What is the conjugate prior distribution of the Dirichlet distribution?


Edit: Since I asked this question many years ago, I've written a Python library for working with exponential families. Maximum likelihood estimation of the Dirichlet distribution can be done using its expectation paramtrization (which is intimately related to the conjugate prior).
