[RFC PATCH v1 0/2] Embed files as PDF attachments

[Manos Pitsidianakis <manos.pitsidianakis@linaro.org>]

The PDF specs allow for file attachments to documents. This can be used 
to make the VIRTIO PDF spec a single source of truth by embedding 
related files.

This series attaches the virtio-queue.h header file as a proof of 
concept. It can be inspected and extracted using a compliant PDF viewer 
such as Adobe's or Firefox's integrated PDF reader.

(Note: I'm not sure if Chrome supports it, my local version does not, 
neither does Chromium.)

Programmatically extracting files is also possible, allowing for 
downstream projects to update their headers by accessing the upstream 
pdf file.

Example using the `pdfdetach` utility from the Xpdf package of tools 
(`poppler-utils` package on debian/ubuntu):

  $ pdfdetach -list virtio-v1.3-csd01.pdf
  1 embedded files
  1: virtio-queue.h
  $ pdfdetach -save 1 virtio-v1.3-csd01.pdf
  $ file virtio-queue.h
  virtio-queue.h: C source, ASCII text

Manos Pitsidianakis (2):
  specvars.tex: Add \virtioauthor command
  Embed virtio-queue.h as PDF attachment
