Steve,
Jamal is on this list, of course,, and he knows about liblouis. There is
now a Windows build file in the liblouis subversion repository that can
be used to create liblouis.dll for each new release using msvc or the
equivalent in Visual Studio. Jamal could incorporate this into EdSharp.
Maybe he will take you up on it.
Incidentally, i use EdSharp for all of my source coding on Windows.
