  Perform soundex comparisons on strings.

  Soundex is an algorithm that hashes English strings into numerical value.
  Strings that sound the same are hashed to the same value.  This allows 
  for non-literal string matching.

  From: David Wayne Williams <dwwillia@iucf.indiana.edu>

  Apr 29 1996 - added get_soundex method that returns the soundex of a
                string (chrish@qnx.com)
  May 2 1996  - added doc strings (chrish@qnx.com)
