[Ifeffit] Demeter under El Capitan

[George Sterbinsky]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for explaining. I didn't realize all of the differences between what
you and Zack had done. You mention that the instructions say to install
xorg-server. Even so, it is not necessary if you have xQuartz installed.
Hopefully this can at least save some people 8 hours!
