Specify default language during compile?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(I couldn't find out how to specify this as an enhancement rather than a
bug report.)

Tesseract has English language as the default language, even if it isn't
built with the English language files present. 

It would be nice if during the ./configure stage, an option
(--default-lang=fra?) could be specified so that tesseract need not be run
with the -l fra flag every time, but rather tesseract would know not to
look for the English language files and use instead the default specified
during the compile.

Alternatively, a ~/.tesseract.conf file could be generated wherein a
default language could be specified.

Interesting idea. Another possibility would be for configure to find the 
available 
languages and pick one as the default.

Major stack issues fixed in 2.04.
Rest will be cleared up in 3.00.
