There may be several tables for a language, and users will want to pick
their preferred one. The best way to accommodate them is probably to
have a file in the liblouis tables directory which they can modify if
they wish. This file would have two columns. The first would be a
language code like en or de. The second would be a table list consisting
of the names of tables separated by commas. A new liblouis function,
lou_findTable would read this file. It would be called with a character
string as the argument. If this string occurs in the first column of the
file it would load the tables in the second column and return a 1. If
the table cannot be found or does not load, it would return a 0.
Functions like lou_translate would need modification so they can
recognize a language specification instead of a table list.
