I understand.

Are you able to contribute your code to xmlroff or PangoPDF?

The current CVS code has fo_doc_render_layout() and
fo_doc_render_layout_lines() so area-to-pdf no longer has any
dependency on PDFlib.

area-to-pdf is called that because it described what was happening at
the time.

Now that none of area-to-pdf uses PDFlib, it is also possible to break
up area-to-pdf and put each area type's code into the area type's
implementation of the currently unused 'draw' function of FoArea.
