[pro] CL-PDF on ACL 9.0 - using Quicklisp works

[Dave Cooper]

Hi Martin,

Are you delivering a runtime with cl-pdf? If so, note the
initialization stuff in zzinit.lisp for the afm directories.

I actually added that file, to improve flexibility for runtime delivery (as
it was, it assumed you were always loading from fasls and the default afm
directory was in a certain place relative to the fasls).

If the zzinit stuff isn't clear, give me a shout.

My Best,

 Dave
