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.
