Oh, and I was always believing that Gutenprint's "Even Tone" screening
is already yet another implementation of Raph Levien's algorithm.
Obviously I was wrong...

Raph Levien's original code seems to be pretty easy to use
(independently of GS). Create the EvenBetter object with
even_better_new(), then call even_better_line() for each scan line,
feeding the continuous color data of the scan line into the engine and
getting the dithered pattern out. But there are a couple of parameters
too, which can be / need to be tuned.
