[liblouis-liblouisxml] Changes and notes on software QA

As the principal maintainer of liblouis and liblouisxml I really 
appreciate the patches from James Teh and the fact that they were sent 
to the  list. If others have patches, I would appreciate it if they 
would do the same. It seems that some patches may have been made to the 
Google site without notice to anyone. I'm thinking of moving to a 
different hosting provider. The system used by NVDA sems to be very good 
at allowing patches and keeping everyone informed of them and of issues 
that need attention. I hope James Teh will help me get acquainted with 
the NVDA system.

I'll be integrating the last patch from James into the latest liblouis. 
Caution is needed because the place that should be patched is not 
necessarily what it seems to be. For example, in the case of the 
repeated opcode removing things from a spot indicated by the cursor 
position when the compbrlAtCursor bit is set, the appropriate patch is 
to not execute repeated, since it is inappropriate in this case. The 
patch goes in the for_selectRule function. I'll have a new release of 
liblouis and liblouisxml shortly.

I have removed the link to the Google site from the 
www.jjb-software.com downloads page, because it is out of date. 
www.jjb-software.com is the official home page for both liblouis and 
liblouisxml. The new site will contain a link to it. 

I have also removed the link to the Tiger driver for Linux. Current 
Tigers have a firmware upgrade which make this driver, which was written 
several yeard ago, obsolete. Hopefully it can be rewritten someday. 

Likewise, I have removed the link to a Windows binary for libxml2, which 
is needed for compiling liblouisxml. It is best to obtain the latest 
binary from the libxml2 site.
