Hmm.
1 Compiling from .sbl by original Snowball's makefile requires Perl and doesn't
work cleanly:
% gmake
....
cc -o snowball compiler/space.o compiler/tokeniser.o compiler/analyser.o
compiler/generator.o compiler/driver.o compiler/generator_java.o
gmake: *** No rule to make target `libstemmer/libstemmer_c.in', needed by
`libstemmer/libstemmer.c'. Stop.
I used http://snowball.tartarus.org/dist/snowball_code.tgz tarball.

2 Snowball's compiling infrastructure doesn't support Windows target.

I agree with simplify support process but, IMHO, it's much simpler to do it with
C sources with pgsql's building infrastructure

And where should it be placed? src/snowball directory?
