    Documentation - add a note about SAFER for PDF/X ICC profiles
    
    Bug #701553 "Examples of PDF/X and PDF/A conversion should be updated for Ghostscript 9.28"
    
    ICC profiles required for PDF/X and PDF/A output need to be readable
    in order to work when -dSAFER is true (the new default). This wasn't
    clear from the documentation, so add a note about it.
    
    As noted in the bug report, it is possible to embed the profile in the
    PostScript code, but as Chris says this is probably beyond reasonable
    expectations of the average user; they simply won't change the example
    and will then complain that it isn't correct. Users capable of making
    this work almost certainly have enough knowledge to realise they can
    do this instead of making the profile readable.

 As mentioned above, the PDF/X definition file provides special information,
 which the PDF/X-3 standard requires. You can find a sample file in
 <code>gs/lib/PDFX_def.ps</code>, and edit it according to your needs.
