Removed xpdf source, added poppler dependency



Hi all,

I just comitted a patch to remove the xpdf source from the pdf backend and add a dependency on poppler. In its current state, poppler is basically the xpdf source from evince, autotooled to compile as a shared library:

  http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler

The kpdf guys have a number of patches from their xpdf fork (string constification, support for printing only odd pages and some fontconfig integration) that they would like to add. When that lands, kpdf will most likely also start using poppler. I'm still waiting for the freedesktop site-wranglers to set up the CVS for poppler, but in the meantime, there's a tarball snapshot available from the wiki page.

cheers,
Kristian
