[gdal-dev] adding the pds format ISIS

[cartrite]

Hi Frank,
I didn't see it on the list of formats after configure ran and someone
else had trouble with reading an ISIS3 cub. And none of the object files
in the pds folder were produced after running make.

I became aware of the problem at the ISIS support forum. According to a
user, GDAL 1.5.0 was built and got an error when trying gdal_translate
on the cub.
