Re: new "paginate" branch

[John Darrington]

OK.   I pushed a first attempt at a Gtk+ print operation.
There seems to be some issues which may or may not be inter-related.

0. src/output/cairo.h declares a function xr_driver_destroy.  But there
doesn't seem to be a corresponding definition anywhere.

1.  It looks as if the calculated number of pages hasn't taken into account
the space used by the headers.  Consequently the headers seem to be
rendered off the top of the page.

2.  A table which doesn't fit on the end of the page gets truncated.  The
end of that table is never rendered. (I noticed this problem also with the 
Export
to pdf function).

3.  Charts don't seem to get rendered at all.  A blank page appears instead.

     On IRC you've mentioned that to implement GTK+ printing the
     output API needs to be able to break output up into a
     page-at-a-time operation.  I've now refactored PSPP's Cairo
     output driver so that it can do that.  I've pushed it to a new
     "paginate" branch for you to look at.  Please look it over.  If
     it seems suitable for basing the GTK+ printing code upon, then
     I'll push it to master.
