[BRLTTY] Compiling a statically linked binary

Hello,
A further observation on compiling and using a statically linked binary
of BRLTTY is that keybindings default tables no longer seem to be built
into the driver(s). Hence, one can't just copy the binary and run
./brltty. I've found it most expedient to copy the whole data directory
and specify its location via the "-T" switch. It might be a good idea to
have a configure option to include a default binding table in the same
way it can be done with text and attributes tables. Many a time has my
skin been saved by the ability to run a statically linked BRLTTY on an
otherwise inaccessible system. It's true that, now that most rescue
images come with BRLTTY pre-installed, it's not as crucial as it was a
decade ago, but it's still a good alternative to have.
Cheers,
S.M>
