 * Compute Pete Cook's C-Table comparison vector, as modified by Tom.
 *
 * What is this?  From l-lines list 10 Aug 1995 posting by Tom Wetmore:
 * 
 * There has been discussion on person matching in genealogical databases,
 * the use of metrics to compare persons to help locate duplicates.
 *
 * Pete Cook suggested the CID metric a ways back, and recently suggested the
 * CTable metric.  I remember another metric published in "Genealogical
 * Computing" some time back.  John Chandler (?) reminded us of a metric that
 * is used by the Genserve project (which, by my own experience) works quite
 * well.
