Hi, Alan, Garrett, Thanks for reviewing.
The initial integration of libchewing is covered in PSARC/2005/525, as a project private interface, located in /usr/lib/iiim. And when scim is integrated (covered in PSARC/2008/418), libchewing is required both by scim-chewing and iiimf-twle-chewing, so it's moved to /usr/lib. Currently, there is no other client applications depends on libchewing, besides scim-chewing and iiimf-twle-chewing. Here is the release announcement for version 0.3.2, which lists the what's new, http://groups.google.com/group/chewing/browse_thread/thread/0067e04c8ea29ff3, please read the bottom half for the English version. And yes, I only require a minor binding. I will update the case material to include this info.
