Renamed `convert' to `pict-convert', etc., to avoid confusion
with `file/convert' bindings.
Moved out of `slideshow/pict' to `slideshow/pict-convert', because
most `slideshow/pict' clients do not need it.
adjust 'one-of/c' and 'symbols' so they just use or/c (when possible)
improve or/c's stronger check so that, in the case that or/c is
getting eq or equal contracts, or/c's stronger check is as good as
'symbols'/'one-of/c's stronger check is.
This convention makes it easier to deal with a set
of ".rkt" files that implement tests, while a `test'
module implements a `main'-like split for some of the
files.
The `get-handle' method provides the underlying Cairo surface for
a bitmap, while the unsafe `make-handle-brush' function supports the
use of a Cairo surface as a `brush%'.
Also, add `racket/draw/unsafe/cairo-lib', which simplifies access
Cairo from external libraries. Documenting `racket/draw/unsafe/cairo'
might be better, but that's a lot more work.
The default is that hiniting is enabled, which causes some text
metrics (notably width) to be rounded to integer values, which makes
spacing more consistent. This default is backward-compatible. The
non-default 'unaligned mode refrains from rounding, which makes metric
information scale correctly and improves output for PS/PDF (such as
Redex output).
The `text' function from `slideshow/pict' defaults to
disabling hinting --- which is consistent with its default to combine
text instead of drawing character-by-character -- so slides and Redex
inherit the improvement.

Although th eoriginal idea was to distinguish "text" paths
from derived filesystem paths, practically everythign that accepts
a module path also accepts a path. Building the generalization into
`module-path?' makes it easier to support `submod' wrappers on paths,
and it seems to fix things rather than break them.
Previously, sandbox creation used `gui?', which is the result of
`gui-available?' at the time that `racket/sandbox' is instanited.
This change makes sandbox behavior less sensitive tothe order in
which modules `require'd into a program are intiantiated.
The change depends on a new `sandbox-make-namespace' default
function for `sandbox-namespace-specs'. The new function uses
either `make-base-namespace' or `make-gui-namespace', depending
on whether the GUI library is available at that point.
A new `sandbox-gui-enabled' parameter can disable use of the
GUI library even if it is available.
The `gui?' binding is still exported for backward compatibility,
but it shouldn't be used anymore.
