[BRLTTY] Compilation problems on Windows

[Siddharth]

   1. There appears to be some issue with the latest master on github,
   can't compile it even after rerunning autogen and following the same
   procedure. I switched to brltty-5.1 version and resolved the problem with
   Java and Python bindings (Cython was installed but path wasn't updated).
   2. Received errors - 'undefined reference to _imp__pthread_key_create'
   on make. I figured it was because the '-lpthread' flag was included in gcc
   and resolved it by updating this line to
Bindings/Python/setup.py.in : *libraries
   = ["brlapi","pthread"],*
   3. 'make' compiles fine now, but 'make install' now gives the following
   error:

/bin/install: cannot open `../Tables/sl.ttb' for reading: No such file or
directory

If I just remove this table (since I don't need this anyway), I get the
same error with the other tables. It's doesn't look like a permissions
issue either, I elevated the permissions of all the file in Tables/
directory.
