first stab at functional scs2pdf

I have a functioning version of scs2pdf.  The diff is quite large so I
didn't include it here.  I don't know how to get it to compile with
./configure; make; make install so I'll leave that to the autoconf people
here.  I just copied to build commands of scs2ascii.c and ran them by
hand.

Notes:
1.  It only produces one page so far, even though you may have many pages
of output.  The text just runs off the end of the page.

2.  The PDF is always 8.5x11 in., no landscape or other page sizes.

3.  It always uses Courier 10 point font (not 10 cpi).

4.  If your output is longer than the page is wide it just prints off the
edge of the page.

5.  But it does work.  Use lp5250d with the outputcommand argument set to
scs2pdf > outfile.pdf to save the file somewhere.

The diff can be downloaded from:

or just get the C source:
