pgboard defines an interface to send it commands via PicoGUI's IPC channel, pgAppMessage. This lets other apps show the keyboard, hide it, change the pattern it's displaying, etc.
The interface provides a lot of functionality that none of the apps in CVS use except the pgboard-command demo. I'm assuming that Smartdata has their own app that uses more of this interface. The library just contains pgboard_api.c, implementing a nicer interface to the keyboard commands. pgl-keyboard is the only app in CVS AFAIK that uses the keyboard IPC interface. Since it only needs to send the "toggle" command and the interface is so simple, it just uses its own code to send the command. I don't think that this pgboard library needs to be included in a debian package.
