Because of the \pdfoutput problem I have written a = small
package "ifpdf" in order to reduce the = number of hacks and
as a try for a standard method for asking = \pdfoutput.
Properties:
* No change of \pdfoutput.
* Checks for \pdfoutput=3D\undefined and = \pdfoutput=3D\relax
  (a previous check can have used \csname = pdfoutput\endcsname).
* Then \pdfoutput=3D0 =3D=3D> DVI mode, = \pdfoutput>0 =3D=3D> PDF mode
* Sets switch \ifpdf.
* LaTeX packages, but plain compatible.
