Let's be really clear about this:

 Nobody Here Is Maintaining GGV

Understand? So you can:

 - Keep your ggv tarball, use it, love it, and stop posting to this
   list.

 - Volunteer to maintain ggv. Nobody is stopping you; we'll happily
   assign the bugzilla module to you and make sure you have access to
   the source code repository.

 - Work constructively to improve evince. (That means, filing bugs,
   testing it out, etc.)

Those are the *only* options.
