mlterm ISCII support

Following is a instruction of setting up mlterm ISCII support.

* Requirement
  mlterm depends on libind.tar.gz and truetype.tar.gz at
  http://www.tenet.res.in/Donlab/Indlinux/X-Windows/download.html , and xfstt
  or XFree86-4.x with truetype backend.
  So install and setup them in advance.
  Don't forget to install indian.h to where cc can find(e.g /usr/local/include).

* Installation
  $ ./configure --enable-ind
  ...
  checking for indian_init in -lind... yes
  ...
  $ make
  $ make install

* Usage
  $ LIBIND_PATH=[LIBIND_PATH] mlterm -E iscii -w 16 -m -V -C Malayalam --im=kbd

  o -V option enables variable width column.
    This option is automatically turned on in ISCII encoding. (optional)
  o -m option enables character combining, which is necessary since mlterm
    diverts characters
    combining framework for rendering ISCII glyph internally.
    This option is automatically turned on in ISCII encoding. (optional)
  o -C [lang] enables [lang] glyph of ISCII. Without -C option, Malayalam is
    used by default.
    (optional)
  o -w [font size] specifies font size you want to use. (optional)
  o --im option specifies input method to be used. For ISCII use kbd input
    method.

  Pressing the key defined as IM_HOTKEY in ~/.mlterm/key lets you use ISCII
  inputting.
  IM_HOTKEY switches the loop Inscript => Phonetic => US ASCII => Inscript ...

* Note
  We are not a native speaker and mlterm ISCII support itself may be still
  unstable.
  So if you find something strange or wrong about it, please report it without
  reservation to Mlterm-dev-en.
