Program requires libimagequant 2.x to build, which is not documented

I encountered some errors trying to build the program on my own. Meson was failing, saying that the "imagequant" dependency couldn't be found. I'll skip all the diagnostic steps I jumped through and cut to the chase: to compile the program I needed to build and install libimagequant, not the latest version but specifically the 2.x version (when it was still a pure C library).

The solution is pretty straightforward once you know what to do, but it is not documented in the install instructions. The readme should be updated to include mention of this.

Hi,
Which OS are you running? On my Mac, meson finds and uses 4.4.0. The MinGW builds I've published on the release page also did use version 4.x.y. Could it be a config issue on your system?

The OS is nothing special, just Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE. I installed 4.4.0 but neither pkg-config nor cmake could find it, I'm guessing due to the Rust dependencies (though that was also installed). Installing 2.x though made it work right off.
