Summary: English language stemming

Description:
This routine applies the Porter Stemming Algorithm to its parameters,
returning the stemmed words. It is derived from the C program "stemmer.c"
as found in freewais and elsewhere, which contains these notes:

Purpose: Implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm documented
in: Porter, M.F., "An Algorithm For Suffix Stripping,"
Program 14 (3), July 1980, pp. 130-137.
Provenance: Written by B. Frakes and C. Cox, 1986.

I have re-interpreted areas that use Frakes and Cox's "WordSize" function.
My version may misbehave on short words starting with "y", but I can't
think of any examples.
