Hermes library support
----------------------
If configure finds hermes library (an optimized pixel format conversion
library) installed it will use it to do the pixel format conversion in
the wraster library for some cases (TrueColor visuals without dithering).
Currently the hermes routines cannot convert to an indexed destination,
so we can't use hermes for PseudoColor, GrayScale and StaticGray visuals.
Also hermes only does dithering for just 2 combinations of source/destination
bits/masks none of them useful to out needs so for dithering we still
use out routines.
The Hermes library is completely optional, you can build Window Maker
without having it, it just speeds up the things a little for some
situations.
hermes library is available here: http://www.clanlib.org/hermes/
