53 Yes, there is a patch in that ebuild to not build any pdf stuff.
54 But if you skip that patch it fails.
55
56 So, I stepped back to 0.9.1. But even this version doesn't build
57 pdf2pdf unless it finds a workin libpdf which has been removed from the
58 tree.
59 But one can reactivate it for the new version of it.
