[codec][SUBMIT] Common Interface, and Refined Soundex

["O'brien, Tim" <to...@transolutions.net>]

Refined Soundex is similar to the Soundex algorithm, but it the number
of consonant groups has been increased.  This algorithm is helpful when
search for alternative spellings, etc.  More information on this
algorithm can be found here: http://www.bluepoof.com/Soundex/info2.html

Metaphone, Soundex, and RefinedSoundex all implement a common Encoder
interface, this is handy if one is implementing a system which needs to
treating the encoding algorithm as a "pluggable" component.

EncoderComparator, is merely a generalization of the SoundexComparator
for the Encoder interface.

Committed.

Thanks Tim, the addition of an Encoder interface and the EncoderComparator
are very cool.
