New description:

 The code that is used to build transfig and fig2dev is pretty old and the
 latest compilers under Mountain Lion misinterpret a function that ought to
 be labeled void as being int.  The code is over 20 years old so this is
 not a complete surprise.  Transfig itself installs but fig2dev fails,
 silently.  Changing the signature of set_width in the file:

 fig2dev/devgenibmgl.c

 to be this:

 {{{
 static void set_width(int w)
 }}}

 Allows the program to compile and run.

 Sorry, I don't have an easy way to generate a real patch, but this is a
 one liner.
