Sounds good to me.  I'll try it on Windows and BSD next chance I get. 
I've been wanting to add a better sound matching algorithm.  It would be
nice if we could devise some way to handle other languages.

The Soundex code was added simply for searching names in a manner
compatible with US Census Soundex records.  It is definitely a poor way
to match sounds.  Someone asked and it was simple to add.
