Grant Ingersoll commented on TIKA-93:
-------------------------------------
bq. changed to the Tesseract exec approach
Can you add it as a patch? I was going to add it this week, but if you already
have it, then it would save me some time.

All good insight. I am not an OCR/Doc expert, so if you could update my patch
w/ either comments on where this stuff should go or actual help on it, that
would be awesome. I would really love to see OCR support get in soon.
