Indeed, this was the solution to the problem. I had to apply two patches
to the file.
The first fixes a problem with including png images, as the config script
sets the PNMTOPNG variable, not the PPMTOPNG. The second one fixes a
problem occurring with Windows due to the path delimiter. When embedding
into a webpage it has to be '/' regardless of the platform, so hardcode
it.
