liblouis braille translator and back-translator now available

[John J. Boyer]

Janina,

It makes no difference where you put the translation tables, but I would 
not put them in a bin directory. The library itself should be wherever 
your distribution puts libraries. The translation tables might be in a 
directory under /etc . 

I'll try to have configure and make install working soon.
