Added an experimental tool (bitmap2component) to create logos from .bmp bitmaps. Added Potrace library to convert bitmaps to polygons

    This tool uses potarce library that converts a bitmap picture (.bmp or .pgm format) to a set of polygons.

    bitmap2component converts a bitmap to a .emp footprint (that can be imported by modedit) or a .lib component that can be

    imported by libedit.

    Note: imported bitmaps logos are vectored by potrace, so there is no pixelation effect.

    Scale is 1:1 for 300ppi pictures.

    bitmap2component currently runs only is command line mode

    run

        bitmap2component bitmapfile.bmp bitmapfile.lib 1 to create a schematic component logo

        (import this file using libedit)

        or

        bitmap2component bitmapfile.bmp bitmapfile.emp 1 to create a footprint logo

        (import this file using modedit)
