Okay, here it is. I hope it doesn't go against established abiword
programming methodology, however.

This adds a new class in abi/src/af/xap/unix based on UT_Vector,
specifically for creating a vector of document resources, and I modify
xap_UnixPSGenerate.cpp/.h and xap_UnixPSGraphics.cpp accordingly.

It is very problem-specific, which worries me a little, but on the other
hand I have tried to make it easily extensible to other resource types
(should the need for such ever arise).

It's not release critical, and it's certainly not a showstopper, but it's
a bug and I get obsessed easily... :-)

Please let me have your opinion.
