Re: [pdfmod] DJVU mod ?

[Gabriel Burt <gabriel burt gmail com>]

Hi Olivier,

I'd be open to adding support for other formats if 1) that support was
*simple* - leveraging an existing library, and equivalent or less code
than our PDF support  2) feature complete with our PDF support, so
that in the UI it would appear identical to now.  A third factor would
be the usefulness-to-users vs maintenance-burden tradeoff; if very few
people use it, I'm not sure it would be worth it.
