[OpenJade] OpenJade 1.2.2pre3

[Avi Kivity <Avi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The first maintenance release of OpenJade is getting closer, due mainly to
heroic efforts by Matthias Clasen.

To ensure a high-quality release, we need some help with testing, and this
means YOU!

What has changed in OpenJade 1.2.2:
* The HTML and MIF backends are now enabled by default.
* The TeX backend has support for PDF bookmarks. This is supported by the
new version of jadetex which is included.
* Predefined character names line-feed and carriage-return for the character
numbers 10 and 13.
* standard-chars and map-sdata-entity declaration element type forms are
supported.
* Style language additions: map-constructor. 
* + and - return a length-spec if any of there arguments is a length-spec.
* Most of the non-core expression language: c...r, keyword->string,
string->keyword, exact?, inexact?, zero?, positive?, negative?, odd?, even?,
exp, log, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, expt, exact->inexact,
inexact->exact, quantity->number, string->list, list->string, map, time<?,
time>?, time<=?, time>=?.

Particular attention should be given to the last change. To test it, remove
all definitions of these primitives from your stylesheet (probably hidden in
some library) and run OpenJade. The result should be equal to the output
obtained by Jade 1.2.1.

Send bug reports (and success reports, too!) to Matthias Clasen
<clasen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, or to me.
