Here is a new version of the patch that adds support code for LZW
compression and uses that. This means we're back to postscript level 2,
which is good for printing. Since I added base85 coding of image data I
also changed DocumentData to Clean7Bit. As far as I can tell there was
no other code that wrote binary data to the postscript file.

Here is the Changelog entry:

2006-03-02  Alexander Larsson  <alexl at redhat.com>

	* src/Makefile.am:
	Add cairo-lzw.c to sources
	Remove erronous space at start of line
	
	* src/cairo-lzw.c:
	New file implementing _cairo_compress_lzw which does Lempel-Ziv & Welch
	compression as used by postscript. Based on code from libtiff.
	
	* src/cairo-output-stream.c:
	Add _cairo_output_stream_write_base85_string which implements
	an encoder for the ASCII85Decode postscript filter.

	* src/cairoint.h:
	Add _cairo_compress_lzw and _cairo_output_stream_write_base85_string.
	
	* src/cairo-ps-surface.c:
	Write Images LZW + Base85 encoded.
	Change ps level to 2 (we only needed level 3 for FlateDecode).
	Change DocumentData to Clean7Bit as we don't include binary data
	anymore.
