It'll always be found because it's built into the executable. The algorithm 
actually is to default to auto. Now if either autoselection or the specified 
table (option or brltty.conf) fails then fall back to the built-in table.

So, to fix it as you describe, which may well be the right thing to do, means 
that we have to kind of twist the algorithm a bit. It'll have to use the 
built-in table unless it needs to default, in which case it should do 
autoselection with a fallback to the built-in table. I'll have a look into it.

Let me first, though, put the question a different way. Ignoring what the 
documentation says for a moment, does it make more sense for the 
--with-text-table option to be defining the default table or the fallback 
table?
