Following a communication from Felipe Moyano I have added ending detection
for -ANT, -ANCE suffixes to the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian stemmers. To
see the changes made, look for '// Note 1' in the .sbl scripts themselves.
The stemmer definitions, vocabularies, and introductory page on the Romance
stemmers have been updated accordingly.
(The reason for this omission is that these stemmers derived from the
structure of the French stemmer, where the noun-making derivational suffix
-ant does not require separate treatment, since it gets removed as a verb
suffix. It was therefore overlooked as a separate derivational ending.)
