Yep, but we also need runtime checks (if someone distributes binaries,
as I do with my commercial app.).

Thanks, I'll look at it later and see what I'd like to use.

Looking forward to see any link that you can provide. I'm sure I can
learn a lot from your code ... as I did already by using your work on
fluid/print_panel.* and fluid's printing features :-)

BTW: I can print now on Linux using the modified fluid printer dialog.
The code needs some cleanup, but I will commit something tonight or
tomorrow.
