That's the future of Tor, to be integrated as a library just like an encryption library into application.
That's also the only way to make applications in constrained environment, such as Apple iOS. Some useful link to look at is: https://github.com/mtigas/iOS-OnionBrowser (embedding Tor as part of Apple iOS application) https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2011-September/021527.html If you approach this kind of problem, it would great if you create a full set of patches, creating proper tickets on http://trac.torproject.org and detailed documentation to enable anyone to build "Applications" with Tor built-in in an easy way. A very valuable target could be to create a "wrapper" around Tor with minor patch to be able to use it as a library from any major application programming languages.
