Andreas Klemm b6e54563f1 Upgrade to v 5.10, bugfix release concerning PDF ...
From the release notes: 5.10 is a special release to clear up
problems in the PDF writer (ps2pdf) affecting NSF's FastLane proposal
submission program: we have tested its output and verified
compatibility with the Acrobat software that NSF uses. Relative to
5.03, the only other changes in 5.10 are some improvements in the
PDF interpreter to handle more PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3.x) constructs,
and a number of bug fixes.
