[Swftools-common] Link against poppler

[Christian Welzel]

Hi there,

lately i tried to link the swftools package against libpoppler to build
a debian package without xpdf. At last i got it to compile but i had to
remove some parts of code:

//    if(splash->needFontUpdate) {
//       splash->doUpdateFont(state);
//    }

Both "needFontUpdate" and "doUpdateFont" are private in poppler (and
the unpatched xpdf). What is that for and is there a way to have the
same effect without patching xpdf?

In swftools xpdf gets patched to include ascender, descender and
last_advance in SplashFont. What is that for and what are the
consequences of removing them?

I have some patches for spelling mistakes and other minor stuff, where
can i send these to to get them included?
