Do you mean we should replace (1) the use of KLibLoader to load 
libthai.so.0 with (2) compiling&linking with libthai?

If the consensus is to go for (2), I will fix and submit a new patch. 

But I see more benefits from (1). If libthai.so.0 exists on the system 
it will be used automatically. If not, it just skips most of the 
code. Also there is no need to recompile KHTML to have it 
Thai-supported (apparently needed if we go for (2)). Could you 
hi-light a case when there will be a poartable problem in (1)? 

Cheers,
Pattara
