Thanks for the patch!

Concerning 1., I must admit that I'm not too keen on re-packaging the
xpdf language packs. I'd rather teach pdf2swf to deal with them exactly
in the format as they are on the xpdf download site, meaning that the
config file will be "add-to-xpdfrc", and the paths will be absolute.

Therefore, I made some modifications to your patch so that it also
removes the prefix "/usr/local/share/xpdf/*/" and treats the rest as
relative to the configuration file.

The changes are committed into CVS.
