I have used art(1) to generate pic(1) for some drawings.

several people have tried to port art(1) - which was in the 2nd edition
and released by the labs in extras. I collected their changes and
add a couple of small fixes of my own - in my contrib.

My biggest problem with art is its interface is... not what I am used to
from using windows apps. I am not saying its bad its just different and
needs a mental switch to use it.

It was Ok, but a little painful for the few drawings I needed, I'am sure
it would get easier if I used it more.

-Steve
