[STR Closed w/Resolution]

This change is already in 1.3.x and trunk

As for inserting IncludeFeature where it is found in the PostScript file,
that won't work - applications that don't know how to handle
OrderDependency data are most likely to use IncludeFeature, and if you
send PostScript commands in the wrong order bad things happen on many
PostScript printers.

Unfortunately, the DSC doesn't address order dependencies at all, which
makes IncludeFeature non-functional for some options that are only
supportable at the document level.

To summarize what we currently output:

    1. Default options from PPD
    2. Begin/EndFeature code from PS file
    3. IncludeFeature code plus default options, as needed, from PPD
