This interfaces with General Motor's ancient 160 baud "Pin M" ALDL protocol to create a
virtual dashboard capable of displaying any data that the ECU reports. It is intended to
be used with a Raspberry Pi's composite video output, and collects its data using one of
the RPi's GPIOs.

More modern "ODB1" 8192 ALDL systems are not supported! For those, see the LinuxALDL

The dashboard rendering, data acquiition, and ALDL protocol handling are modular, so this
code should be easily extendible to other vehicles and computing platforms.

Requires the wiringPi, SDL2, and SDL2_ttf libraries.
Currently only supports the A179 datastream, used by, among others, 1992-1995 C/K trucks
with manual transmissions.
