Crossbeam

Trying to find a name for the project, and this is the first dart I'm throwing at it. Crossbeam for Coarse Search for Barcodes (CSB). It's the best thing that
grep -i '^c.*s.*b' /usr/share/dict/words
turned up. It's kind of evocative of physical laser barcode scanners so it could work.

Anyway, the first part will be the module that actually interacts with output. I need to write a layer where I convert PDF output into images that can be processed, and that part will be taken care of by a system call to the ImageMagick program convert.
