ditaa filter for AsciiDoc

ditaa (http://ditaa.sourceforge.net) is a small command-line utility written in Java, that can convert diagrams drawn using ascii art (drawings that contain characters that resemble lines like | / - ), into proper bitmap graphics.

Using the AsciiDoc ditaa filter, ASCII line art can be embedded into AsciiDoc documents and processed as PNG bitmap graphics.

For example this ASCII text:

    +--------+   +-------+    +-------+
    |        | --+ ditaa +--> |       |
    |  Text  |   +-------+    |diagram|
    |Document|   |!magic!|    |       |
    |     {d}|   |       |    |       |
    +---+----+   +-------+    +-------+
        :                         ^
        |       Lots of work      |
