# Find runs of words containing 17 syllables. Basically an automated
# senryu finder.
#
# Uses Lingua:: with the CMU pronouncing dictionary:
# http://www.pressure.to/ruby/
# http://www.pressure.to/ruby/lingua/lingua-0.5-with-dict.tar.gz
#
# Note that to get it to install with a built dictionary I had to change
# line 77 of lib/syllable/dictionary.rb from:
#  dbm.store(word, phonemes.join "-")
# to:
#  dbm.store(word, phonemes.join("-"))
#
# Possibly run against:
