Title: Interface to Snowball implementation of Porter's word stemming
        algorithm.
Description: An R interface to the C code that implements Porter's
        word stemming algorithm for collapsing words to a common root
        to aid comparison of texts.  There is code to for different
        languages (i.e. danish, dutch, english, finnish, french,
        german, norwegian, portuguese, russian, spanish, swedish).
        However, these may not be applicable if the words require UTF
        encoding. This is extensible by allowing different routines to
        be specified to create the C routines used in the stemming,
        permitting debugging, profiling, pool management, caching,
        etc.

Note: This package is setup to support stemming for languages other
        than English and to dynamically fetch code for languages from
        the Snowball web site. The inst/scripts/download script
        fetches the code for languages supported by Snowball and
        includes it in the distribution.  Support for Unicode is
        needed in R.
