Thus \pdflastescaped* are not needed anymore. I could remove the dependency on a limited buffer by copying the destination strings directly in the string pool above the source string. Also the patch adds the fixes of bug 369. Fourth I add \pdfescapehex and \pdfunescapehex that implements encoding and decoding for hexadecimal strings: * Strings can also be given as hex strings in angle brackets. * Safe method to store and read string data to auxiliary files without worrying about catcodes, unmachted curly braces, ... * Help in handling UTF-8/Unicode or other hex coding stuff.
