implements TextSummarizer

SimpleTextSummarizer: Simple text summarizer.

This summarizer produces a summary by finding the (up to) 100 most commonly used words in a text (not including stop words) and outputting the first sentence containing each common word. This works adequately for news articles or blog posting, but rather badly for literature.
