Summary:                    Add ability to generate an ASCII document from the
TeX files
Description: 
I've added the ability to run 'make asterisk.txt' (or 'make txt') just like
the current 'make asterisk.pdf' stuff.

Included in the patch is:

* fixed up several .tex files that weren't escaping characters correctly.
This would lead to Unicode characters in the text file. I've fixed all of
them (there are a few U+0000 and U+00FF stuff in the app_sms.tex file, but
those are on purpose)

* updated the configure script to check for catdvi (used to convert the
latex to text)

* updated the Makefiles

* updated the build_tools/prep_tarball script so that when we build new
releases going forward we'll generate the asterisk.txt file as well.
