Description
Give the new Tesseract OCR external a run for it's money to make sure it won't crash and figure out how to use it best. The external is programmed initially to understand five languages (Tesseract can process English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch, and can be trained to work in other languages -- chinese, korean, etc are in the next version).

Yeah, I think it's the same issue with the external -- I need to make the library static, so it doesn't link to some dynamic library. Am on it ...
