------------------------------------

Note - the Perl variant can run in original-mode.

I've added a note to the javadoc about this issue.

> An empty string is returned from the Metaphone.metaphone(String) method when passed the value "why". Variations on the value, such as "wwwhy" and "wwhhhy" also return empty strings.
> This appears to be an issue since other implementations of the metaphone algorithm, namely the PHP version, returns "H" when passed the value "why".
