Just to save you some time, don't use the C API, as it doesnt work
properly. I went through this a couple of weeks ago. Did a C version,
got odd results, and ended up recoding the lot in C++ with C wrappers
to interface to Obj-C. That works a lot better (much as I hate C++)
I was doing transliterations, so I have no idea if the C API would work ffor other things, but my experinece was that it wasn't any good. Subtle
wrong results, the worst kind of bug!
