New files for pdf, ps, and svg test programs

Extract this tarball in the examples/ directory.  I don't have CVS access yet,
so I can't commit myself.

By the way, these are the examples that suffer from the issue described in
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2006-January/006191.html so they
need some autotools work to get them to work right.

Committed. I have no build problems and the examples run. Are you doing an
autogen.sh?

Really?  odd.  It builds fine for me, but doesn't run correctly.  I am doing
./autogen.sh.  Do the examples produce files that look reasonably like eachother
(other than backend-specific differences) and like the file in the png example?  
Maybe there's an issue with my development environment.  I'll look into it a bit
more when I get home tonight.

By the way, the ps and svg surface examples were copied from the PDF example,
and I just noticed that the svg and ps surface examples contain the following
lines near the end:

    std::cout << "You must compile cairo with PDF support for this example to work."
        << std::endl;

These should be changed to SVG or PostScript instead of PDF.  Sorry about that.

Yes, they run fine, apart from the PDF one, because I don't have PDF compiled
into cairo.

The images all looks the same.

I fixed the messages.

I'll do a new release soon, if that's OK.

It'd be nice to have an example for an XlibSurface and a Win32Surface (since I
believe those are really the only surfaces officially supported by C cairo at
the moment besides ImageSurface), but I'm not sure that I'll get around to them
soon.  Perhaps they could be borrowed and adapted from the C cairo examples (if
they exist), but I don't think it's worth waiting for that for a release.  I say
go for it.
