[IMAGE-SIG] Undocumented rawmode in PIL

[Fred L. Drake]

  I was just working on my interface to the t1lib Type1 font
rasterizer, and determined (without RTFS!) that there is a rawmode
value "1;IR" which does both "1;I" and "1;R".  Fredrik, you might want
to document this, or at least that the flags after the semi-colon are
cumulative in some way, because this proved useful.
  Thanks for getting it right!  ;-)
  At the moment, the t1lib interface is ~1000 lines of (mostly
boilerplate) C, ~300 lines of Python to wrap a nice O-O model around
it, and less than 100 lines of Python to support integration with
PIL.  The two Python modules will probably grow a bit before I'm done,
and there's no documentation to speak of, but the C extension provides
a 1-to-1 correspondence with t1lib, excepting the X11 support (which I
still need to deal with, but mostly to prevent link failures when it's
there, since everyone would be expected to use the PIL interface).
