Added Text.Pandoc.PDF module, 'pdf' as new output option.
The module calls pdflatex to produce the PDF, and is basically shell scripting in haskell. But this is better than the existing markdown2pdf script, which is limited to POSIX. git-svn-id: https://pandoc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1394 788f1e2b-df1e-0410-8736-df70ead52e1b

+- For `odt` output, you must have `zip` in the path. If you

+- For `pdf` output, you must have `pdflatex` and `bibtex` in the
+ path. You should also have the following LaTeX packages installed:
+ `unicode`, `fancyhdr` (if you have verbatim text in footnotes),
+ `graphicx` (if you use images), `array` (if you use tables), and
+ `ulem` (if you use strikeout text). If they are not already included
+ in your LaTeX distribution, you can get them from [CTAN]. A full
+ [TeX Live] or [MacTeX] distribution will have all of these packages.
