Homebrew formula

I would like to create and Homebrew formula for libvisio2svg and submit it to homebrew-core. I've also created issue #19 for libemf2svg which would be a dependency for this. Once I built libemf2svg, the build on macOS Sierra was very straight-forward with the other dependencies already in Homebrew. 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.

Most comments are already done in the kakwa/libemf2svg#19.

There is not a lot to add, except maybe that you should not expect awesome results out of this converter.

There are a few issues in libemf2svg, but there are even more issues in libvisio/librevenge (given that the VSD/VSS format, unlike EMF, is not open, it's already admirable that it's able to do what it does).
