Looks good, but its missing Makefile.am rule to generate the images
from the .fig files. It'd be nicer to use PNG instead of GIF and
get nicely anti-aliased, transparent background images. ImageMagick
can do this fairly easily using a rule like
%.png: %.fig
convert -rotate 90 $< $@
The 'rotate 90' bit is because for some wierd reason it defaults to
rotating it 90 degrees in a direction you don't want unless you look
at images side-ways on :-)
Okay, I didn't know of that trick, so switched to png, I added the
conversion rule but no more explicit make target to avoid some build
in random condition trying to rebuild the PNGs and breaking because
ImageMagic support is missing.
All commited, but there is still missing pieces on that page,
I will try to work on it before the 0.6.3 release,
Daniel
