A Factory that churns out Stemmers.

The static method getStemmer is used for requesting a suitable Stemmer from the factory.

Upon receiving a Configuration object, the factory determines the type of stemmer that it should create:

• The locale is determined by the neatseeker.stemmer.locale property
• The Stemmer class for this locale is defined by neatseeker.stemmer.<locale>

The default configuration file etc/NeatSeeker.properties shows how to configure different stemmers for the factory.
