0b36cb83dc PGXS should be set with := not =, as specified in the documentation,
to avoid useless multiple executions of pg_config.

13629df5a1 Add double metaphone code from Andrew Dunstan. Also change metaphone so that
an empty input string causes an empty output string to be returned, instead of
throwing an ERROR -- per complaint from Aaron Hillegass, and consistent with
double metaphone. Fix examples in README.soundex pointed out by James Robinson.

17cc78ef01 To fix the perpetually broken makefiles in the contrib tree, I have
written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can
use instead of writing their own each time.  You only need to set a few
variables and off you go.

d8783c512e Per this discussion, here's a patch to implement both levenshtein() and
metaphone() in a contrib. There seem to be a fair number of different
approaches to both of these algorithms. I used the simplest case for
levenshtein which has a cost  of 1 for any character insertion, deletion, or
substitution. For metaphone, I adapted the same code from CPAN that the PHP
folks did.

A couple of questions:
1. Does it make sense to fold the soundex contrib together with this one?

2. I was debating trying to add multibyte support to levenshtein (it would
make no sense at all for metaphone), but a quick search through the contrib
directory found no hits on the word MULTIBYTE. Should worry about adding
multibyte support to levenshtein()?
