The purpose of adblock for science is to remove nasty ads from papers,
which at the moment means only papers from Science Magazine as published
by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
I am really annoyed that I have to write an ad blocker... for science
papers.
Also cleaned up some flakes noticed by pyflakes, and make the scrub() be @classmethod instead of @staticmethod so I could use the class for the verbose output.
caveats:
* there are no unit tests of this patch
* now your logs of your stderr have potentially sensitive information in them
* the implementation of arg parsing is very low-tech; (a *good* way to do arg parsing is the "argparse" module)
This is slightly broken because the SPIE plugin removes more than just
watermarks. For some reason it seems to also remove images and large
blocks of text from the paper. However, the object that is being removed
is tiny. In the unit testing sample, the removed object is pdf stream
55.
For now, SPIE is partially disabled until this is fixed. The problem
does not originate from the other plugins.
