Summary: Object Streams for PDF-1.5

Initial Comment:
Rough early patch, work in progress, produces PDF-1.5
object streams and cross reference streams. With the
patch, and enabled by \pdfminorversion=5, and with
luck, pdfetex produces e. g. from its WEB source a PDF
file with size 5.97 MByte instead of 11.2 MByte without
object streams.

Regards, Hartmut

 577 compressed objects within 6 object streams
 113 named destinations out of 1000 (max. 131072)
 8353 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 10000

Patch update. Object stream writing is now controlled by
primitive \pdfobjcompresslevel = 0...3 (/pdfobjectstreams
primitive removed). 0 = no object streams at all, 1 =
compress objects excluding the ones from embedded PDF files
(for handling of problematic PDF files) and /Info dictionary
(for legibility), 2 = also compress objects from embedded
PDF files, but leave /Info uncompressed, 3 = compress
everything.

Testing welcome.

Regards, Hartmut
