 Generally it's OK to put fcitx under textproc/. However, different
 from scim or ibus, fcitx's main port has bounded Chinese input
 methods, pinyin and table, and most people still install fcitx for
 these 'old' engines instead of the newer ones like fcitx-sunpinyin.
 Another problem is that I'm probably not going to port input engine
 bindings other than Chinese and Japanese, since fcitx only contains
 message catalogs for these two languages... It's not ready to be known
 to the 'external' world yet.
