(Sorry for the noise) - the test text used there doesn't go too well
with my solution, which limits how much of a word is rearranged. This is
a better example:

[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La viiosn euro辿nepne str辿giatque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vioisn eurpe辿none strga辿itque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vioisn eurenop辿ne strtagi辿que
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vision eurpe辿onne str辿igatque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vision eur辿onpene strgt辿iaque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La visoin eure辿onpne striagt辿que
