Awesome!  Where you able to get this working?  I've tried installing it
From the version you pushed, and I still can't get it to work.  Even
when I set all the environment variables mentioned, and I install all
the packages (ibus, ibus-anthy, and anthy) to my profile.  If you got it
working, I'd like to know how so I can set it up on my end, too.
