Added some notes about what needs to be done to :
1 - Simplify the code and increase portability by
removing mmap calls wherever practical (without
having to rewrite some parsers entirely)
2 - Accept print jobs size > available memory.

| 1 | Programmer's notes : |
|---|
| 2 | ==================== |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | As per their respective specifications, both PS and PDF formats must |
|---|
| 5 | accept the following EOL markers which should be treated equally |
|---|
| 6 | (like with Universal Newline opening mode) : |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | \r\n |
|---|
| 9 | \r |
|---|
| 10 | \n |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | For obvious reasons, the plain text format should also accept |
|---|
| 13 | these three forms of EOL markers. |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | The PJL statements MUST end with \n, so \r being present or not, |
|---|
| 16 | we are only interested in \n as the EOL marker. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | We can't currently remove mmap calls for file formats which |
|---|
| 19 | don't need it (e.g. zjstream, lidil, ...) until we have removed |
|---|
| 20 | the universal newline opening mode. We can't remove this |
|---|
| 21 | opening mode until we have written some replacement, or |
|---|
| 22 | have a way for a parser to specify the mode in which |
|---|
| 23 | the file must be re-opened. |
