That's entirely up to you. You're welcome to call it concordance-gui or
concordance-pywx if you'd like... as long as it's not called simply
"concordance". :)

I absolutely plan to provide perl/python/ruby bindings for the library. Py
and Ruby are trivial, Perl is a bit more work but not all that hard for such
a simple interface.

From the TODO:
4. Find a better way to figure out what kind of file we've been
passed in. There doesn't seem much of a good way, there's no
XML field with a type, as far as I can see.
So if you have a good way, by all means, I'll add it to the library and
expose an API for it.
