[liblouis-liblouisxml] Update on Bible Translation Project

For those who are interested, the utd2bible.c module in liblouisutdml 
now produces the two-column format, with verse numbers in the first 
column and text in the second. The next step is to produce the footers 
containing verse numbers at the bottoms of pages. Then footnotes will be 
placed at the end of volumes. This module is not yet ready for use even 
for testing. However, here are the configuration file and the liblouis 
table file.

Comment: the lines such as 

punctuation \x0010 e 

Are used to encode verse numbers, so they can be picked out for placing 
in the first column.
