Dependencies

Requires libpotrace. This is not so easy to install... I had to do the following:

• Download libpotrace source distribution (latest tested: v1.8).
• Hack configure.in:
  • Uncomment AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
• Hack src/Makefile.am and Makefile.in:
  • swap comments on 'static libraries' vs 'dynamic libraries'
• In the top level, run 'autoreconf -i -s' and possibly 'libtoolize'
  • run: ./configure; ./make; ./make install
• Manually install the headers:

    $ sudo mkdir /usr/local/include/potrace
    $ sudo cp src/potracelib.h /usr/local/include/potrace/
