gftools-autohint provides a wrapper around ttfautohint. We do this
for three reasons:

1) Installing gftools gives you the latest version of ttfautohint,
but the Python module we install does not provide a ttfautohint binary.
This script allows you to call the latest ttfautohint from the command
line.

2) ttfautohint does not allow you to save the autohinted output font
with the same path as the input font, requiring you to do boring
renaming dances. This script deals with that for you.

3) ttfautohint has a -D parameter to choose the default script for
OpenType features. gftools-autohint can determine this script
automatically.
