fst has always been a library, though it includes an app as a demo/utility.

its earliest versions, the thing that torben & i wanted to make work,
was using Wine as a library too. that proved to be impossible in any
forward-compatible way (Wine would keep changing and what we had done
would break). hence the change to the new scheme i outlined earlier.
