Soundex is trivial; you don't need somebody else's implementation.  Go for it.

Look in the X.V11R4 tape, the Andrew contribution (under
contrib/toolkits/andrew, on the fourth X Consortium tape), and check out
the fuzzy-name matching facilities in software in the
andrew/overhead/util/{hdrs,lib} libraries.  You get a Soundex derivative
that works better, at the very least.
