Summary: Expandable \pdfstrcmp, \pdfescape*, added \pdf(de)escapehex

Initial Comment:
Hello,

the result of last weekend is a patch that
makes \pdfstrcmp (based on Harmut's work)
and the \pdfescape* commands expandable.
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.

Patch is applied by
  patch <EscapeDivers.patch
in directory
  src/texk/web2c/pdftexdir

The Makefile needs modifying. After the lines
  $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/tex.pch
the line
  $(srcdir)/pdftexdir/pdfstrcmp.ch
is inserted. This should be done two times for
pdftex and pdfetex.

Yours sincerely

Hello,

the first patch missed the changes in pdftex.defines.
Now the patch is reorganized:

Patched files:
  * utils.c
      main part of the fix, especially function
      convertStringToPDFName().
  * pdftoepdf.cc, epdf.h, ptexlib.h
      because of changed signature of
      convertStringToPDFString()
  * pdftex.defines adds new/deletes old entries
    of utils.c
  * pdfstrcmp.ch is added.
  * pdftex.mk, ../pdfetexdir/pdfetex.mk:
    addition of pdfstrcmp.ch

Now the patch must be applied in scr/texk/web2c:
  patch -p0 <EscapeDivers.patch
With the following commands I could compile pdf(e)tex:
  unzip pdftex-1.30.0-rc1.zip
  cd pdftex-1.30.0-rc1/src/texk/web2c
  patch -p0 <../../../../EscapeDivers.patch
  cd -   
  ./Build

Sorry for the inconvenience
  Heiko <oberdiek at uni-freiburg.de>
