[brailleblaster] Re: Configure Issues With LibLouisUTDML

gcj is the flavor of gcc which compiles Java into machine language. It 
contains the header files needed. 

Note that liblouisutdml is all lowercase. So is liblouis. BrailleBlaster 
is a single word.

Do not use any method in the Java bindings except file2brl. The others 
all need work.

My Linux box also has a graphical interface, so I will start activating 
some of the items on the BrailleBlaster menus.
