update to autotrace 0.40.0

[jnweiger]

Hey Scott, if you want to refresh your windows binary here, please check out the latest version of the source at https://github.com/jnweiger/autotrace , thanks!

Thanks for the notice! It seems with the latest versions, there is no need for me to maintain binary releases anymore. Good work!

Yes, you can simply refer to the windows release of 0.40 at https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace/releases -- it has a crude nsis installer thing for windows. You could do me a favour and test it. I rarely use windows...

I tested the packages and the installer. The resultant executables do work on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. A few comments: Maybe change the default install location to not use the "Program Files (x86)" directory as it does now. Since your binaries are 64-bit, "\Program Files\" is where they go. Since you include libs in the install path too- another (32-bit) application looking for the DLL for libiconv, for example, will choke when it finds your x86-64 DLL in its "SYSWOW64" executable path. In other words, autotrace.exe will work from this directory, but you run a risk of breaking some other app by putting 64-bit shared libs in the 32-bit Program Files path, which is probably not-desired.

I am going to go ahead and build your 0.40 since my target was statically linked (and with libpng, which I notice you didn't build support for) and replace what's in my repo with new binaries. Presumably a fair number of people have used/are using this repo due to its mention in a few different docs/threads, so I don't want to render the legacy docs out there non-working.

If I did it right, the two issues should be fixed. There are new builds at https://github.com/autotrace/autotrace/releases/tag/travis-20190108.39

Hey cool! Thanks. I have updated the README here to point to your repo.
