Just to consume it, the commands are simple:

	git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/linville/vdgtricks.git
	cd vdgtricks
	make

You will need gcc, ImageMagick, and toolshed installed.  Just copy the
image you want to display to "test.jpg" and the build will take care
of the rest.  The Makefile has the details of how the tools are used,
if you want to do the conversions manually.

Hth!
