Well as usual I'm lost in this morass of trying to build  liblouisutdml. I'm 
just going to give up perhaps some day, but I'm not going to hold my breath, we 
will have some sort of a system that mere humans can get this all installed and 
working. This has been a frustration for years and years now. What should be a 
simple task take hours if not days to do and more than half the time simply 
will not work.

I give up! This is simply not worth the effort I have to pour into this crazy 
thing. Not only can I not build it but int the process of doing so I end up 
breaking BrailleBlaster half the time as well so it will not work either. I did 
finally get BrailleBlaster to work by doing the install of just liblouis,  
liblouisutdml has always been a problem. But even there one should not have to 
build liblouis just to get BrailleBlaster running.
