v0.94   2006-02-14
    * new maintainer Marvin Humphrey
    * improved speed
    * new method stem_in_place() added
    * UTF-8 stemmers added

    * many internal changes
    * change from EUMM to Module::Build
    * apostrophe stripping is now always on and handled natively for English
    * strip_apostrophes() method deprecated; now has no impact on stemming 
      behavior (and no longer triggers segfaults)

      stem(), and that was only theoretical (none of the test vocab was
      affected by it).
