Be warned also, it's a bit of a pain to install because it has a
number of prerequisites (gocr, ImageMagick, netpbm, etc.) On a FreeBSD
server with no previous graphics-related packages, I had to build and
install something like 17 or 18 new packages.
Preliminary testing says it works well though, though I haven't yet
moved it into production.
