I don't see why. xpdf is a popular application and I use it everyday for
its lightweight and its speed, but that means I can't use, e.g. evince,
which is a nice replacement of ggv, and I also like to have many pdf
viewers, in case a document is not rendered well with one (and that
happens really often).

After my last sync, I have this new block between evince and xpdf, which
is a problem at least to me.

Isn't there any way to make xpdf and poppler live together on the same
system?
