merge prjoects / move to freedesktop.org

[James Su]

Hi,
   I think it's not so suitable to move a localized software onto 
freedesktop.org. In my view the softwares hosted on freedesktop.org 
should be globalized.
   And could you please consider to port "AfterChinput" onto the SCIM 
input method platform? And because SCIM itself is globalized, it should 
be suitable to hosted on freedesktop.org.

Like uim, SCIM is an input method platform (or framework), which is 
written with C++. Currently SCIM provides X11 XIM as well as GTK2 native 
input method support, and can be extended to other protocol easily, eg. 
IIIMF.

For more information about SCIM, you may visit

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/scim.

James Su
