Heh, it turns out there's an easy speedup for the Endings DB... I've been
hoping to switch from rx to the glibc regex code simply for cutting down on
the size of the distribution and getting rid of the tsort requirement.

As it turns out, switching gave a reported speedup on the Swedish affix
file from 5 days to 5 minutes!!! If you have the CVS copy, it's already in
there. If not, edit EndingsDB.cc and remove the 'extern "C"' portion and
replace it with:

#include <regex.h>

That's it!
