I also have poppler-glib 0.12.4 which comes with my distro.  However, the compiler doesn't see it.  It's not 
the show-stopper that the SVG support was.

My results have been close to satisfying but the performance and behavior leads some things to be desired.  
For example, when I was messing with the text tool, I would highlight text, then go to the control to change 
something about it and it would deselect the text.  Weird.  (Then again, I wasn't using the "close to the 
object being edited" tool thing... when I used that, it was good.)  But that leaves me wondering "was I 
supposed to see the regular/original text tool?
