[Nfb-science] BrlTex 0.0.1 alpha2 released

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
I forgot BrlTex can be download it from http://brltex.sf.net

Also John you may be interested I managed to do a native Windows compilation 
of liblouis 1.0.2 and I have included it in BrlTex (in SVN, in a branch, but 
it will soon be in trunk when I have successfully merged the branch back). I 
compiled liblouis.dll on Windows using LCC as the compiler.
