[Uim] Using Subwindow & IM Specific widget.

[Kazuki Ohta]

Hi.

Komatsu-san also requested me to add the data to candidate freely by the 
IMEngine (including the property name) like this.

(list cand
      (digit->string (+ idx 1)) 
      (list (list 'usage   "usage string")
            (list 'comment "comment string")))

Currently, get-candidate-handler's result is passed to uim-core by using 
(im-return-str-list). To satisfy this demand, more complicated parsing of 
data is needed in uim-core. I don't like this way personally. I like:

(list cand
      (digit->string (+ idx 1))
       "annotation string"
       "usage string"
       "comment string")

and

struct uim_candidate_ {
    char *str;         /* candidate */
    char *heading_label;
    char *annotation;
    char *usage
    char *comment
};

How do you think about this?
