I am guilty of dropping the ball.  Guido would like sondex.c out of the
core.  Tim Peters sent a Python replacement to me.  I was supposed to give
it some life.  It's still sitting in my inbox.  I'll try to take care of it
next week (bug fixes and all).

(I realize that doesn't make Soundex any better for the fuzzy matching
algorithm, but I should at least fix any obvious bugs...)
