Summary:                    [patch] 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.

Add ability to generate ASCII documentation from the TeX files.

These changes add the ability to run 'make asterisk.txt' just like the
existing
'make asterisk.pdf' commands to generate a text document from the TeX
files we
have in the doc/tex/ directory. I've also updated a few of the .tex files
because
they weren't properly escaping certain characters so they would show up as
Unicode
characters (like [U+021C]). Made changes to the configure scripts so it
would
detect the catdvi program which is required to convert the .dvi file
generated
by latex.

I've also added a few lines to the build_tools/prep_tarball script so that
the
text documentation gets generated and added to future tarballs of Asterisk
releases.
