dvisvgm 1.9

This is a feature release with the following additions/changes:

• Partial evaluation of the PostScript operator shfill which allows to create color gradient fills has been added. The recent version of dvisvgm supports the approximation of free- and lattice-form triangle meshes as well as Coons and tensor-product patch meshes.
• The command-line options --grad-segments, --grad-overlap, and --grad-simplify to adapt the approximation of gradient fills have been added. See the manual page for further details.
• Option --no-merge has been added. It forces dvisvgm to create separate text elements for each character (patch by Khaled Hosny).
• When searching the location of the Ghostscript library, dvisvgm now also looks up the file path in the Windows registry.
• A bug in the interaction of color specials with PostScript color operators has been fixed.
• The validity check of DVI files has been corrected.
• The free replacement script opt2cpp.py for my non-free opt2cpp.xsl stylesheet has been added. It's required to create the C++ files from the XML file defining the command-line options. Thanks to Khaled Hosny for the implementation and for providing it for free.
