Hello everyone,

I recently had a need to do some work with fuzzy matches, so I ported
Lawrence Philips DMetaph class from C++ to Python.

This is currently pretty much a line for line port of his his C++
code. It is not very pythonic at all.

Because it is SO ugly, I'm not yet making it available for download,
but am making it available on request.

I hope to clean it up significantly and make it far more pythonic in
the near future.
