About the failing builds

Hi @shashi

Are you planning to update the package so that the builds http://pkg.julialang.org/detail/Escher.html actually pass?

I'd love to use this package :)

Hello Trying Escher on Julia 0.6.1 with bjarthur patch #203 I finish with this error

WARNING: could not import Base.writemime into Escher
ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Symbol to an object of type AbstractString
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor AbstractString(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.
