It's nice to know that someone is looking for it.

That depends on whether I get my system working soon and package what
I have as the next release or wait until next month and somehow find
some time to work on xmlroff.

The only changes so far are plugged memory leaks: formatting
xmlroff.fo leaks less than 50% of what it used to.  There's still a
lot of leaks and a lot of unreleased memory to go, however.

The simple answer, which I didn't have before, is
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file().

Once the miminum of having graphics again actually works, then as you
note, there's all the interrelated graphics properties to take care
of.
