Comment(by stevens):

 What are the barriers stopping people from installing the C based GPX
 importer. It built fine on my debian system once I installed the packages
 listed in the BUILD file. I initially tried using the ruby importer
 because it was there and the documentation implied I could.

 What platforms are people actually running the rails port and building the
 C importer is an issue (OSX?, Win32?).  Do those people need the importer?
 Would they be happy with a version that skipped the image generation?

 Would including a listing of RedHat/Fedora package names in the BUILD file
 along with the debian ones be enough of a fix?
