Martin,

I finally found some time to investigate Snowball a little bit more
and thanks to Olly I was able to find `make check`.

I'll start aggregating my proposed patches in raw diff files here:
https://gist.github.com/4258832

Feel free to comment either here or on the gist itself.

Another occurrence I wanted to fix is the lesser common 'graf{i'}a',
which happens on 'fotografía', 'caligrafía', and is usually
misspelled. I'm quite new to IR in general and I don't know what the
approach should be. Should I start collecting these and fix one by
one? Should there be a more aggressive approach, maybe creating a
separate algorithm, ignoring all accents?

Thanks again.
