ok, so i have removed most of the hard dependencies (namely 
image-loading libraries) and made them soft (so if configure cannot find 
them, they will just be skipped)

X is still a hard dependency, but only on Linux ;-) (and sooner or later 
i want to get rid of that entirely)

the only remaining hard dependency should be openGL (of course);
i have added some checks for those headers on osX (but very naively)
