I don't have the rules with me (I'm at work now), but I thought that there 
has to be an even # (or 0) of each vowel separately.  Is that right?

So if the word was:

bane

it would pass this program (if it was on an even line), but not the rules 
since there's an odd # of a's and e's (again, as I understand them and recall 
from memory).

I'm not sure if I like the "present", though ... I'm a beginner and had the 
problem worked out (at a mighty 509 strokes ;) - we're playing double-par 
limit, right? ;)) and was at the point now where I was looking to simplify.  
While impressed with this code, I feel frustrated that I'll never be able to 
match that (w/o copying it)... :(
