This function initializes PIL library. This function has to be called before
any other PIL function (there are some
exceptions to this rule). It does the following :
First it calculates name of parameter file. Usually name of parameter file
equals GETARG(0)+ ".par" suffix but
this can be overriden by calling PILSETMODULENAME and/or PILSETMODULEVERSION
before calling PILINIT.
After successful termination parameter file is opened and read in, and
global variable PILRunMode is set to one
of the following values :
ISDC_SINGLE_MODE
ISDC_SERVER_MODE
ISDC_SERVER_MODE is set whenever there is parameter "ServerMode" and its
value is "yes" or "y". In any other case PILRunMode is set
to ISDC_SINGLE_MODE.
