[evince] Building libevince as a static library

[Richard Shann <richard shann virgin net>]

Hi,
In the GNU/Denemo project we are trying to cross-compile libevince 2.32.
for windows. We are using mxe for this, and have a configure step
looking like this
./configure \
        --host='$(TARGET)' \
        --disable-shared \
        --prefix='$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)' \
        --without-libgnome \
        --without-gconf \
        --without-keyring \
        --with-platform=win32 \
        --with-smclient-backend=win32 \
        --disable-help \
        --disable-thumbnailer \
        --disable-nautilus \
        --disable-dbus \
        --disable-gtk-doc \
        --disable-previewer \
        --disable-nls \
        --without-gtk-unix-print \
        --disable-comics \
        CONFIG_SHELL=$(SHELL)

We get a static library for evince but also another static library
lib/evince/3/backends/libpdfdocument.a and the .la file.
However, when the evince widget tries to load a pdf document it
complains that libpdfdocument.dll is not found in the backends
directory.

Is there something wrong with our configure step? (I should mention we
also need two patches to enable the compilation, appended below).
