I see KStem being mentioned lately.  It's been 5+ years since I looked at the 
original KStem stuff, but I recall there being a license issue with the 
*original* KStem.  I think it was under some flavour of GPL and that was the 
reason why we didn't include it in Lucene/Solr back then.  I say this now 
because I saw people said KStem was released under BSD license, which doesn't 
match what I saw 5+ years ago.
