Fixed.

The library is good in itself. The reason I'm packaging it is so I and other
people don't have to manually compile it every time.

I know the packaging guidelines for C libraries, but I have never tried python
or ruby packaging which is how most people are using this library. That's why I
decided to start with the library first.

To be honest, the process to submit packages was painful and demotivational,
and after one year and addressing every comment, there's no light on the end of
the tunnel.

I guess I'll better give up, write compelling UI applications that use this
library, and leave to other people to push for this library, when presumably
you guys would bend over due to public demand.

FTR. This package follows the guidelines already.
