This is interesting. I think I will continue to attempt to turn the
libraries into DLL's just to see how well it would work. I am anxious to
read the docs for aegis and openoffice and your press release when it comes
out.
Thanks for your comments.

Hi,
I'm working on a Braille authoring extension for OpenOffice.org. It will
enable users to export or print an OpenOffice.org Writer document into
Braille. The project is part of ÆGIS <http://www.aegis-project.eu/>. The
extension is called Odt2Braille and there will be a press release pretty
soon.
The program is written in Java and uses liblouisxml by executing the
xml2brl.exe tool which is embedded in Odt2Braille. I was able to build
xml2brl on Windows from revision 215, without modifications. I don't use
liblouisxml as a dll.
