 Replying to [comment:31 vbraun]:

 Debian and Fedora both patch tachyon to produce a shared library. This
 would then enable us to write a reasonable previewer in cython without
 pushing temporary files around. Realtime raytracing is the future, they
 say :-)

 Certainly we could, but IMHO out of the scope of ''this'' ticket. I think
 we should first provide an spkg with just the current upstream (stand-
 alone) version, which has to be tested as well.

 The patch needs to be tested on various systems; it e.g. calls {{{make}}}
 instead of {{{$(MAKE)}}} inside the Makefile, which one should never do.
