Snowball is a small string processing language for creating stemming algorithms
for use in Information Retrieval, plus a collection of stemming algorithms
implemented using it.

Snowball was originally designed and built by Martin Porter. Martin retired
from development in 2014 and Snowball is now maintained as a community project.
Martin originally chose the name Snowball as a tribute to SNOBOL, the excellent
string handling language from the 1960s. It now also serves as a metaphor for
how the project grows by gathering contributions over time.

The Snowball compiler translates a Snowball program into source code in another
language - currently ISO C, C#, Go, Java, Javascript, Object Pascal, Python and
Rust are supported.

This package holds the development files for libstemmer.
