I'd rather not include the gtest sources to dvisvgm, but if there's no 
easy way to get it installed on macOS, I'll reconsider it. At least, 
most Linux distros provide gtest packages. In the case of Ubuntu, they 
only package the gtest sources which the user has to compile before the 
first use.

The Makefile in doc/ should already take care of this. If the gtest 
headers and libraries are installed, "make check" in the dvisvgm root 
folder should build and execute all tests.
