3 I understand your wish about including only real sources and snowball_code.tgz
contains some extra data (doc, examples) which isn't needed for tsearch & pgsql

4 Your suggest to simplify support of snowball by using original file's layout
from Snowball

For that reasons, we suggest to put into source tree (in src/snowball) only
three directory for snowball_code.tgz:
- /compiler - compiler from *.sbl to *.c
- /runtime - common code for all stemmers
- /algorithms - *.sbl files
and use pgsql's makefile infrastructure to compiling stemmers.

Comments, objections?
