[Ifeffit] Demeter 0.9.19

[Alison Tebo]

Hi all,
I have also had an impossible time trying to get the demeter package to
work on Mac, but I am happy to do any tests if anybody thinks they have a
solution. I am running 10.6.8. It's been a while since I've spent a lot of
time trying to get it work, but I recall the pgplot port working pretty
well for me. Since I have an older machine I had to upgrade my perl and
that seemed to create some problems for me later, but I might need to spend
more time on it/start over. Anyway, let me know if anyone wants me to test
anything.

Best,
Alison Tebo
