Hi,
I am trying to build LibLouis 3.2.0 using Visual Studio 15 (on Windows 10).
I get an error:
...
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File
utils\find-replace.ps1 -InputFile ..\liblouis\liblouis.h.in -OutputFile
..\liblouis\liblouis.h -Str1 @WIDECHAR_TYPE@ -Str2 "unsigned short int"
The argument 'utils\find-replace.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist.
Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File
parameter.

It seems that de map "util" is not defined. The configure.mk file shows:
# Unicode bits
UCS=2
# Directories
SRCDIR=..\liblouis
UTILSDIR=utils
In addition: what does the file extension "ps1" stand for? Is it something
that the compiler can handle? And is it needed for a normal build?
The code seems to have been changed by Davy Kager around 6-6-2017, but it
was not clear to me why this change was made.

Subject: [liblouis-liblouisxml] liblouis 3.2.0 has been released
liblouis 3.2.0 has been released
The liblouis developer team is proud to announce the liblouis release
3.2.0. The release is available for download at:
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/releases
Introduction
============
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It
features support for computer, literary and math braille, supports
contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages[1].
It plays an important role in an open source accessibility stack and
is used by screenreaders such as NVDA, Orca and JAWS. A companion
project liblouisutdml[2] deals with formatting of braille.
Changes in this release
=======================
Aside from the usual improvements to Braille tables this release
focuses on improving the internal infrastructure. Numerous bugs have
been fixed, the CI infrastructure also checks mingw builds now and
MSVC compatibility has been massively improved. For a detailed list of
all the changes refer to
