[pdftex] Man page for pdftosrc

[Tigran Aivazian]

I forgot to add (for those interested in attachfile.sty usage and the fix 
I posted) that to actually set `mimetype' correctly one has to do a trick 
like this:

\catcode`\#=12 \def\hashchar{#}\catcode`\#=6
\attachfilesetup{%
         mimetype={text\hashchar 2Fplain},%
         ....

So, although I fixed attachfile.sty to store the value correctly, I wasn't 
able to _pass_ the value containing #2F in it, until Vladimir Volovich 
taught me the above solution.

Kind regards
Tigran
