Contributions are always welcome.

Keep in mind a few things:

- Goldendict is not a dict format. Is an app supporting plenty of dict formats. You'll need to choose which one of the supported goldendict formats you want to support, peek into goldendict code and get something that works for that specific format.

- There's no need to build a commandline tool. A lua C module would be fine too.

- Lua is too slow for a dict app. The code needs to be written in C/C++. The interface between your code and KOReader can be coded as you want.

From the supported colordict formats slob and zim look the most interesting to me, but I don't know if they have the features you need.

The end goal is to have a program/library that works in all KO devices, which are mostly linux arm devices. Support for 3rd party apps is already available on devices that are intended to run apps (android, linux, mac)
