My intention here is to package the latest git snapshot of memononen/nanosvg, with the patch for this commit[2] from fltk/nanosvg applied for the use of slic3r-prusa 2.6.0. If this isn't acceptable, the only alternative I can see is to bundle the nanosvg headers somewhere in `debian/` or as a separate component tarball in slic3r-prusa, and patch slic3r-prusa's build system to use that, now that slic3r-prusa upstream's unbundled their copy. I had also considered asking slic3r-prusa's upstream to just bundle the copy of nanosvg that they need, but I think Debian generally leans towards unbundling libraries, not bundling new ones. I'm open to ideas -- I'm not sure what the best course of action is here.
