I count twelve stemmers now...

Excellent! I've just done a bit of work on making a simple and
consistent interface for C: consisting of three functions:

struct sb_stemmer *
sb_stemmer_create(const char * language);

void
sb_stemmer_release(struct sb_stemmer * stemmer);

const char *
sb_stemmer_stem(struct sb_stemmer * stemmer,
                const char * word, int size);

(This code is in the libstemmer directory in the CVS - the Makefile
needs tweaking so that it compiles the code as a library, but other than
that the work is done.)

I'd like to collaborate, to ensure that the bindings for all languages
are as consistent as possible. Definitely interested in a pre-release.

I'd also like to try and keep all snowball related material easy to find
- so ideally I'd like to see the bindings being added to the website.
I'd be very happy to help set this up.
