Fair enough, but I was bringing this up as something you can do now. I
don't quite understand why you've had problems with wrappers--I've seen
(and made) some that work fine for "joe average," but that's beside the
point.

If you want a library for embedded use, you may wish to take a look at
Loic's mifluz project--a repackaging of the word database of ht://Dig. It
doesn't offer document parsing or fuzzy matching or templates, but it is
packaged to be embedded.
While 3.2 will compile for shared libraries, I don't think it will yet be
embeddable (if that's really a word). It will be closer since htsearch
will be much more modular. But that is not currently the main thrust of
the project. If someone would like to contribute code to that direction,
it would be appreciated. If development for other things (such as the
modular htsearch that I mentioned) makes the code easier to use in your
context then everyone benefits.
But *my* personal development will continue to be web-oriented.
