o AAsave extensions by Tim Newsome:
o AAsave now accepts %x %y in filename for pages
You have to use %% for %
o Format now specifies conversion list - so conversions
like & -> & should be done ellegantly
o added . to extension name - should be usefull to specify
no extensions etc..
o New formats: irc, zephyr and roff
Revisions of this patch by Jan Hubicka
o AAsave now accepts %e for extension and %c for string
_%x_%y in case extensions is used (so you might simply
add %c%e after filename to get nice results)
o extension field of structure returned back for backward
compatibility and since I think it is good place to hold
default extension for given type. It is not added by default
now, but at %e command in filename
o Conversion list format changed from [500] array, since
it increased executable file size too much. Used pointer to
pointer instead.
o For one page formats pointer to FILE * structure should be
passed instad of filename
o Added new formats into formats list
o Changed conversions mechanizm a bit to avoid unfreed memory
areas.
o Avoided conflict in case multiple aa_save filters are up
and in threads and some other problems
o AA-lib is now under LGPL!
API Uncompatibilities: hope last ones for long time :) - better to do them
sooner than wait :)
o X driver now uses default size (w/o asking) since it is not
usual in X11. Use command line options instead :)
o AA_getkey now returns just keypresses. Not releases anymore
(was bug)
o Removed update driver call since it is generaly unused.
o stupid typo - MAKS renamed to MASK
o You need to add %c%e at the end of name fileld for aa_save to
get correct results (see comments bellow)
o fontxx renamed to aa_fontxx to avoid confusion with other
symbols
o context->driver->params moved into context->driverparams since
one driver should handle multiple devices with different parameters
driverparams is taken as parameter into init
(broke compatibility with old aview. New aview is comming soon!)

o OS2 port by Thomas A. K. Kjaer
