Ascii?

[Lars Clausen <lrclause cs uiuc edu>]

Having somehow fooled myself into thinking my talk was today rather than
Thursday, I sat down at the suggestion from one of my friends here and
started on an ASCII art export plugin.  So far it does strings (without
alignment) and rectangles (filled & unfilled).  Lines are up next.

Another passerby suggested rendering using OpenGL's 2d primitives, allowing
use of the accellerated graphics cards.  I'm not gonna do that right now,
though:) 

Just when you thought plug-ins were safe:)

I also applied the MetaPost plug-in submitted earlier.  If the encoding
issues aren't bad enough to stop it, I shall commit.
