Re: [evince] A slight critic

Once again, it may be repeated, the windows port of evince, is deprecated, is more than THREE YEARS OLD, and you are welcome to use a different reader if you're on the Windows Platform. You're more than welcome to provide a win32 binary of the latest version of evince.

Evince supports XPS files as you can see it in the source code:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/evince/tree/backend/xps

However, as many other backends supported, it is configurable at build
time. In this particular case, it requires libgxps:
https://wiki.gnome.org/libgxps

If the installer you used does not have XPS support, then this only
means that it was not built with that option enabled.

Nevertheless, you are very welcome to help the project to build an
installer with the every supported format.
