OK, I'll give up on the pre-compiled binaries and set off yet again to build
liblouistdml so I run the following as I don't really need Java binding anyway
for what I am doing:
./configure --disable-java-bindings
Here is where ./configure stops with the following error messages. By the way I
do have the Java SE Development Kit 8u60 installed.
checking for javac... /usr/bin/javac
checking symlink for /usr/bin/javac...

checking for
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/include/jni.h... no
configure: error: cannot find JDK header files
the standard ./configure with no options also fails at the same place. What do
I do now? Sorry for being such a pain about this. I know I have been a real
pest but I really want to keep my tools current with the distributions of
liblouis.

Liblouis itself has never been a problem for me to install on the Mac. As
for liblouisutdml, I'm not even using homebrew and/or Macports any more and
with very little work was able to successfully install liblouisutdml 2.6.0.
Furthermore, this afternoon I once again updated my git downloads of
liblouis and liblouisutdml, as I have been doing periodically, and
successfully updated them with absolutely no problem using ./autogen.sh,
./configure, make and make install. I also had no problem separately
downloading the liblouis-2.6.4 tarball and installcompiling and installing
it on the Mac. And honestly, even when I was having the problems with
installing liblouisutdml, the problem was that i couldn't find the solution;
it really wasn't that I had to install all manner of odd packages.
I am sure there must be good reasons why homebrew still is using
liblouisutdml 2.5.0 but I would say that at this point it is not impossible
to install liblouisutdml on the Mac cleanly.

If we can not have pre-build binaries, a serious shortcoming that will
forever limit liblouis usefulness in my opinion, can we at an absolute
minimum insure we release liblouis, and more important libLouisutdml, in
distributions which we know can be configured (./configure), build (make)
and installed (make install) cleanly on every platform without demanding
that the user have all manner of odd packages installed?
As it stands now libLouisutdml is simply impossible to build on MacOS X
cleanly as evidenced by the fact that the homebrew install are still
installing version 2.5.0 the last version that sort of worked.
