Phonologically redundant vocabulary

A while ago there was a thread about using phonologically
redundant vocabulary (no minimal pairs).  I've been working
(intermittently) on methods and scripts to generate lists
of such words.  I started writing something which turned
out to be a bit long for a listgroup post, so here it is as
an article on my website:

At the bottom is a link to download a zip file of several Perl scripts
that can be used to generate lists of redundant words, with
at least two phonemes or at least two distinctive features
differing between any pair of words.

The earlier thread from December 2005 is:
