ok, i'll just include snowball/libstemmer/api.h or snowball/libstemmer/header.h instead.

in postgresql 8.2 there was no such "#define free" in snowball/header.h,
and a change in 8.3 introduced breakage; i should have looked in the new
snowball/header.h comment prior to complaining.

thanks.

Best,
v.
