[PYTHON IMAGE-SIG] PDF files written by PIL is considered broken by Acrobat (includes fix)

Acrobat complains on PDF files written by PIL 0.2b4 (and earlier), but
still renders them correctly.  To get rid of the complaint, change 
the following line in PdfImagePlugin.py:

    fp.write("%%PDF-1.1\n")

to

    fp.write("%PDF-1.1\n") # note! only one (1) percent here

Also noticed that xpdf 0.6 fails to display PDF files created by PIL,
but that's probably because the xpdf author has hacked his own JPEG
code...
