[scribus] compress-newsletter program.

[John Culleton]

This utility is described as follows:
# Name:   compress-newsletter
# Author: wd (Wolfgang.Dobler at ucalgary.ca)
# Date:   03-Oct-2005
# Description:
#   Use ghostscript's pdfwrite device (à la ps2pdf) to reduce the
#   Newsletter's PDF file size, and add meta information like author,
#   date, etc.
#   The preferred route is currently:
#                 [scribus>=1.2.3]
#                        |
#                    file.pdf
#                        |
#                 [pdftops>=3.00]
#                        |
#                     file.ps
#                        |
#            [pstopdf14 (gs-gnu-8.16 or higher)]
#                        |
#                        V
#                    final.pdf
-----------------------------------------------------
It seems to work and  to result in extraordinary reductions  in pdf 
size.   I am happy to use it as it is. But could this routine or 
something like it be woven into Scribus itself?
