It's relatively simple:  take the postscript version, run it through gs,
with output of PDF.  It can't necessarily be required to be automatic (as
ghostscript is a pretty high overhead program, particularly on slow
machines), but it could be done in part of the release machining before
opening a release to the public.

BTW, if you happen to know the proper HFS creator/type for PDFs as seen by
the Mac, I'd like to add it to src/distrib/cdrom/hfsmap.lst so they will be
identified properly on HFS and/or Apple CD Extensions prepared images.
(Right now, only .hqx, .txt, .ps, .gz, .tgz, and .html are recognized --
although the creator/type used for .html could probably use a better
definition too.)
