[SCIM] Definition which should be clarified in the SCIM wiki homepage

[James Su]

In my definition, SCIM = Smart Common Input Method platform, so it 
should include the library and the default modules (frontends, table 
imengine, etc.), skim also should be a part of the platform.

The separated imengines, like scim-chinese, scim-uim, scim-m17n should 
not belong to the platform. They are input methods based on the platform.

What's your view about this?

James Su
