Bitmap images are produced by displaying them and getting back
the resulting bitmap from the X server. So, if you want
bitmap images then removing X is a substantial effort.
However, we have '.data' files which a vector type description
of the image. Our image viewer can display image having
only '.data' file. So we could generate only '.data' files
during documentation build and modify HyperDoc so that it
could display images from '.data' files. Skipping bitmaps
during documentation build should be easy. More work
is needed so that HyperDoc can work from '.data' files.
However, we have code to display '.data' files, we just
need to link it to HyperDoc.
