According to

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Pixmap_file_format

stacks are not part of the format. Which programs (apart from "cat") do
write such stacks?

P.S.: I don't know about others, but IMHO changes to source code should be
posted as diffs, rather than complete files. It makes it easier to see
what actually changed (and there were more changes than just those
enclosed in BEGIN/END CHANGES blocks).
