Right, wonder when it broke :-/

Also i think pdftohtml should create images for all the non DCT images, it 
should not be hard to create an uncompressed BMP or something similar with 
the raw RGB data.

Yeah please, do not put a tarball, a diff is much better.

Your patches come in a "bad moment" since we are releasing a new stable 
version in one week or so, and such a big feature change is not a good idea, 
but we may speak of including them for the next feature release.

Thanks again,
