- small reduction of the code size of "t1encode.c"
- removed the hinter (not useful with the upcoming
auto-hinter..)
- updated "t1load.c" to reduce warnings with Visual C++
- considerably changed the glyph loader (it is simpler)
Beware, this code is still experimental, and is _not_
debugged. I don't even guarantee that it works for
now

improvements compared to "src/type1". Briefly :
- the postscript-like interpreter is now gone. We now perform
pattern-matching to load our font content. The resultant code
is much faster, smaller, and easier to maintain.
For a more detailed description, see the comments at the start
of "src/type1z/t1objs.c"
- the glyph loader will be greatly simplified really soon, and the
clumsy hinter will be ditched in favor of a more general auto-hinting
module (when we get one).
The goal is to strip down the Type1 driver to about 15-20 Kb.
This is still an experimental version. It is added to the repository
for archiving. You should not try to use it for now (it won't work
because some crucial parts are _knowingly_ ignored for now !).
Note that the "old" type1 driver will probably move to the "demos/src"
directory, in order to show how one can replace one given font driver
at runtime (and to provide the functionality of the "t1dump" program).
