3 I understand your wish about including only real sources and snowball_code.tgz 
contains some extra data (doc, examples) which isn't needed for tsearch & pgsql

4 Your suggest to simplify support of snowball by using original file's layout 
from Snowball

For that reasons, we suggest to put into source tree (in src/snowball) only 
three directory for snowball_code.tgz: - /compiler - compiler from *.sbl to *.c - /runtime - common code for all
stemmers- /algorithms - *.sbl files
 
and use pgsql's makefile infrastructure to compiling stemmers.

Comments, objections?
