 Experimental patch on:
 http://combinat.sagemath.org/hgwebdir.cgi/patches/file/tip/graphviz-
 nt.patch

 From the patch description:

  - Refactors the graph layout code, with:

    - A new main graph.layout() method, to be called by plot, latex, ...
    - Many layout methods, like graph._layout_circular()
    - Extends the graphviz_string method (latex labels)
    - Define a new layout method ._layout_acyclic() implemented by
      calling dot2tex and graphviz
    - Implement an alternative implementation of latex for graphs
      by delegating all the work to dot2tex (GraphLatex.dot2tex_picture)
    - Slightly simplifies the handling of default values for
 graph.latex_options

  - Makes some fixes to the poset code:
    - __repr__ -> _repr_
    - _latex_ by calling latex on the internal element

 TODO:

  - Add an optional default_layout method that subclasses could
    override (like for the Petersen graph, ...). This would be better
    for them than to systematically construct the layout at
    construction time.

  - Refactor the remaining layout functions (planar, ...) as above

  - Double check all the logic to make sure it is backward compatible

  - A lot of code is doing things very similar to dot2tex. Maybe things
    could be merged.

  - Finish to doctest everything

  - Implement the different options for both latex constructions

  - Add appropriate # optional comments

  - Make dot2tex.spkg into an optional sage package
