Get rid of GNU dependency in engines #66

Closed akerbos closed 8 years ago

akerbos commented 8 years ago

Currently, Xlatex engines use a mix of GNU tools to determine if the resulting PDF has changed between runs.

Implement this in Ruby for the sake of platform independence.

The Ruby implementation is significantly slower than the GNU implementation -- naturally -- but it's still fast enough as to be no problem. Hopefully.
