Google Code-in

teseract 4.0 was released a few weeks ago. Historically dealing with it in Windows has been a nightmare. For 4.0 however someone has done lots of the work and released in github the code to build the code (yes, crazy). Anyway, this is the link:

https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki

Which says "The latest installer can be downloaded here: tesseract-ocr-setup-4.00.00dev.exe (experimental)."

In general, the dev.exe part is the problem: Because they are developer version of the binaries they will require developer versions of the system runtime libraries, which by default users don't have. So we need to build release DLLs that don't depend on developer libraries.

As with the other related task (upgrade CCExtractor to tesseract 4.0) we'll take into account that this task is probably harder than usual.
