[tex4ht] [bug #339] remove/rewrite braille code

[Deimantas Galcius]

Karl - i don't believe we have braille lit sources in svn repo.

It is interesting to know, what kind of system/code/workflow Antonis refers to as
"Braille support in tex4ht"

  "SuBrl: A LaTeX to braille converter"
http://www.dotlessbraille.org/gurari.htm
Does anybody know about source files?
