I'd like to propose more extensive name space changes.

/usr/lib/im/htt           -> /usr/sbin/iiimd
/usr/lib/im/htt_server    -> /usr/sbin/iiim-server
/usr/lib/im/httx          -> /usr/bin/iiimx
/usr/lib/im/htt_xbe       -> /usr/bin/iiim-xbe
/usr/lib/im/leif          -> /usr/lib/iiim/ime
/usr/lib/im/locale/LOC/LE -> /usr/lib/iiim/ime/IME
                             (no locale path component)
IME static data           -> /usr/share/iiim/IME/*
include files             -> /usr/include/iiim/*.h
                             (or /usr/include/*.h)
public libraries          -> /usr/lib/libiiim*.so
                             (or other formats)
/etc/init.d/IIim          -> /etc/init.d/iiim-server
                             (or platform-specific name)
IME site specific files   -> /etc/iiim/ime/*
IME volatile data         -> /var/lib/iiim/ime/IME/*


o rename /usr/lib/im/htt (watchdog) to /usr/sbin/iiimd
o rename /usr/lib/im/htt_server to /usr/sbin/iiim-server
o rename /usr/lib/im/httx to /usr/bin/iiimx
o rename /usr/lib/im/htt_xbe to /usr/bin/iiim-xbe

These four changes will make users easily understand that these
processes are running to support IIIM-based input methods.


o rename /usr/lib/im to /usr/lib/iiim

I think that the name /usr/lib/im was erroneously selected.  The
term ``im'' also conflicts with Instant Messenger, which is much
popular than IIIM.


o rename /usr/lib/im/leif to /usr/lib/iiim/ime

``input method engine'' or ''input method editor''.  The term
``language engine'' seems ambiguous.


o rename /usr/lib/im/locale/LOC/LE to /usr/lib/iiim/ime/IME

In fact, IME (or a language engine (LE)) need not be bound to a
specific locale (LOC).  Thus eliminate locale component from the
path name.  (LE == IME)


o all site specific configuration files will go into /etc/iiim.
  factory default configuration files will go into /usr/lib/im.
  configuration files under /usr/lib/im are read-only.


How about this?
