=begin
  Rakefile to compile a `main.xtex` to gather a `main.pdf` using XeLaTeX.
  
  Intended to work on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows, using either TeXLive >= 2009,
  MacTeX >= 2009 or MikTeX >= 2.8
  
  Supports currently *only* a `main.xtex`, but may use any *.tex, *.latex,
  *.xtex file as prerequisite. Used SVG images will be converted to PDF using
  Inkscape >= 0.47
 
  Status: To be improved.
