Let me explain more.  Libhangul is just a library implementing a few of
the Korean keyboard input algorithms.  (computing precomposing/output
characters according to the input keys, handling Hanja conversion, etc.)

This library itself doesn't provide plugin system and it doesn't have
to.  Rather other IM's Hangul plugins can be linked to this library.
The upstream author wrote many different kinds of Hangul input methods
(GTK+ module, XIM server, SCIM plugin, IIIMF plugin) and this library is
an effort to abstract the common code among his input method softwares.

The tarball is libhangul-x.y.tar.gz and the soname is libhangul.so.0.  I
can't think of any better name.
