File size improvements for PS renderer
A question for 0.20.5:
The PS renderer currently emits lots of redundant moveto instructions.
By changing the "current position" logic in the renderer, I reduced file
size to 50% (for my test files, contating few small images and lots of
text
in tables).
I don't have a diff at hand, because I also changed other things that
are not nearly ready for release (like PS font embedding), but work for
me.
Depending on when the deadline for 0.20.5 is, I could still reapply
the moveto changes in the current CVS version - but I won't find the
time in the next few days.
Is there still time for this?

Uh, yeah. Almost forgot. I guess I can come up with a first version
until Thursday.

Hi Arnd
I think so. Just file a patch to BugZilla as soon as possible.
Just keep in mind that the FOP maintenance branch is (from our POV) in
bugfixing-only mode. Additions from developers will probably get
included but it'll be a dead end. We're looking for manpower to get the
redesign to a developer's release as soon as possible.
Christian, when do you plan to release 0.20.5? Seems like no major bugs
are around, right?
