Changed scoring, including adding code to compute string differences. Turned off line length checking.

New scores:
['(583,sha1:K2DKSSVTXWPRMFDTWSTCQW3RVWRIOV3Q,DOI-0,'title 1','title 1: tng')']
['(500,sha1:K2DKSSVTXWPRMFDTWSTCQW3RVWRIOV3Q,DOI-0.5,'title 1','title 1: tng 2')']
['(500,sha1:K2DKSSVTXWPRMFDTWSTCQW3RVWRIOV3Q,DOI-0.75,'title 1','title 1: tng 3')']
['(588,sha1:C3YNNEGH5WAG5ZAAXWAEBNXJWT6CZ3WU,DOI-1,'title 2: tng','title 2: rebooted')']
