As Rob said, file them in our Bugzilla, but be prepared to explain why you need a separate C utility for efficient conversion. Wouldn't script variants be ideal for this, if there's an algorithmic way to convert from Latin to Sequoyah and back? We already do that for Chinese and Serbian, and it allows people to view things in Latin if they prefer.
In would agree that a php based version would be preferable. Let's hold off on integrating it until I can get one written, or someone on MediaWiki development can volunteer to convert the C program to php. Either way, you guys let me know.
The program actually looks quite simple and easy to port, it's just that the code is rather messy. The only nontrivial part *seems* to be where it tries to guess whether a given piece of input is Cherokee or English.
