Unfortunately -- not in a language you likely would want to use.  But I've
been working on doing this in MarcEdit 7, and to do it, I found that I got
a lot of mileage using the Levenshtein distance algorithm (which I
prefer).  You can usually find these in a variety of languages.  The
approach that I took, since performance is a consideration, is to create a
sorted list for the data that I wanted to work with.  I then used a
list<int,object[]> where the object was a structure that stored an internal
record_id, a match label (this is normalized data), the length of the match
label (necessary for the distance algorithm), a display label, and a
cluster count.  I then had a secondary List<int,string> that stored the int
from primary storage list, and the first element character.  This allows
for a more efficient method of processing large data as you process data in
the sorted list, but then can jump backwards to check for inversion. It's
not perfect, but it allows for acceptable processing within MarcEdit of
recordsets around a million or more once you have the data to be
processed.  I do that by breaking data down and preprocessing it in an
SQLite database -- that way I can access large batches of marc data quickly
and have some of the grouping and sorting done for me.

I'm not sure this helps at all (since its comingled with the event code
that is generated with the results data) -- but here's the code I'm using
in C# for the data (I'll assume you have your own fuzzy matching
algorithms).
