Here is my initial version of a stripped down enum resolver library in C. You can download it from here. This library is based on code from the ENUM and DNS components of the Asterisk Open Source PBX project.

What is ENUM? (Definition take from enum.org):

ENUM unifies traditional telephony and next-generation IP networks, and provides a critical framework for mapping and processing diverse network addresses. It transforms the telephone number—the most basic and commonly-used communications address—into a universal identifier that can be used across many different devices and applications (voice, fax, mobile, email, text messaging, location-based services and the Internet).

With this C library, it is now easy to integrate ENUM functionality into other applications like web browsers, email clients and general purpose applications. This moves ENUM closer to its goal of being a universal address.
