Why would orca (or any other program) need to know where the tables are?
Isn't that liblouis' business? 

In other words if a person installs new tables, they modifies the
LOUIS_TABLEPATH and invokes orca using that env variable then liblouis
should automatically find this new table. Is this not so?
