Homebrew formula

I would like to create and Homebrew formula for libemf2svg and submit it to homebrew-core. The build on macOS Sierra was very straight-forward with the dependencies already in Homebrew, so the formula should be very simple. Before I do this though, I want to make sure you, @kakwa, are OK with me submitting a formula for your project. Also, I have two questions:

  1. Are there any known restrictions on dependency versions, OS X versions, or architectures?
  2. Would it be acceptable to create and distribute "bottles", i.e. binary packages, given your license and the project's dependency licenses? If you're unsure, I'm happy to dig into it.

There is no issues in packaging it for OS X.

As I was requested a few times to support OS X, I've added an OS X environment in travis-ci for that use case.

  1. I don't know any limitation on version (I would a little be cautious on libpng however), also, you need to use libvisio2svg >= 0.5.0 with libemf2svg >= 1.0.0 (API break at that version).
    For the architecture, as long as it's a little endian architecture, it should work correctly. There are issues on Big Endian architecture like SPARC but I don't think that's an issue for OSX ^^.

  2. No issue here, this project is licensed under GPLv2 like many other projects already distributed for OS X, it's derived partly from Inkscape code (the EMF parser part).

Also, I may have to add libfreetype as a dependency in future version to solve #18 (inclusion of reverse cmap table for font decoding) cleanly. Related to this ticket, I would advice you to not package the master branch directly but the last tag (1.0.1) which doesn't include these reverse mappings.
