Patches for ocrad-0.8

What the patches are for

ocrad_0_8_old_gcc_or_no_getopt.patch.gz
The above patch makes it possible to compile ocrad version 0.8 on a system with an older version of the gcc-compiler (e.g. 2.96) or a system that lacks gnu getopts.

Description of changes

• The functions in ucs were named isalpha etc. which are also functions (which are really macros) in ctypes. They were renamed so that they would not collide with the macros in ctypes.h.
• std::isalpha etc. changed in to isalpha.
• std::getc changed to std::fgetc since getc is a macro.
• The use of getopts is disabled by default, but can be enabled by defining HAVE_GETOPT_H in the file main.cc.
