Currently they're only used by Boost.Math for equations, and the png's and 
svg's are in SVN so these tools aren't needed except by that libraries

try and think of a way to make that clearer, or else just remove that 
"branch".

Maybe: the bug report is still open, and I don't know enough about the issue 
to tell whether it's been accidently fixed in the latest version, Daniel do 
you know about this?
