Fair enough; in my defence, though, my priority lately has been Ruwiki
-- and during RubyConf, my main development computer crashed.

Your patches will be merged in CVS-latest (manually, so that I can
make sure the debug statements are gone :). It will be some time
before I can make a new release that contains these, because I have
several other things that need attention as well.

There is a gemspec available for PDF::Writer as well, so when I *do*
release the new version, it will be available as a Gem.
