No problem...

I am not sure you got it right.

The API I was talking about is to write an adaptation layer between the OLSRd 
core and your operation system. Every OS does things differently, so they have 
to be OS specific code in a routing agent.

The routing agent itself does set up IP routing rules for your normal traffic 
and your applications can use them.

Normally your application does not interact with OLSRd directly.

There are some application interfaces in OLSRd, mostly in terms of plugins 
that open a socket so you can query status information from OLSRd. The 
development version of OLSRd contains a telnet and a HTTP server to make it 
easier to write more of this application interfaces.

You have to implement the OS adaptation stuff for windows mobile... in C.

After this it should be possible for all IP capable applications (C, C#, ...) 
to use the unicast routes of OLSRd for communication.
