I too have a need for uim/scim.

I noticed a couple of commits in June for the uim recipe. Did these
commits fix the known issues?

When I tried the current recipe, both uim-native and uim failed to
build, so I suspect not.

Just wanted to check in for the current status before spending any
time on debugging.
