Propagation to all languages (except f77) has been completed and produces
clean results with the make test_diff_psc target. I've also updated
the documentation with regards to which examples demonstrate which 
plplot API functions.

One issue I did note is that the alignment between the cross from
plpoin and plstring is slightly different. (I noticed this by accidently 
leaving the plpoin call in as well as the plstring one).

I haven't investigated further yet to know which one is "right" but
it would be worth a look.

Aside from the fortran issues I've commented on elsewhere, the only
other issue I noted is that we have not propagated Alan's new 
example 0 yet. If we decide not to do that, then we should probably
remove it from the test_diff_psc target.
