I have to agree with John here. We really don't want people turning logging
off. We just need a way to optionally pipe the log messages through a callback.
If we do allow them to disable logging it has to be something very explicit
that they must do.

I find the idea that if no callback is specified then lou_logPrint is used as
at present intuitive. I do like the idea of having a function call to turn off
logging. It shouldn't be made easy.
In my original message I intended to suggest that liblouis and liblouisutdml
should be released at the same time, once everything is ready in both libraries.
