Vic,
Don't worry about the present instructions for porting the liblouis
suite to Windows. They will soon be obsolete. I am working on using
Microsoft's Visual C++ to generate the code. The necessary files will be
in the repository and in the tarball. You will only have to edit a
simple text file and then run a command.
Meanwhile, there is a somewhat older zip file that contains a Windows
port for 32 bits. Windows 7 64-bits will probably run it. You can find
it on the downloads page of http://www.abilitiessoft.com
