If you could put a little more white space around quoting, I'd 
appreciate it - makes it much easier to read ;-)

Anyway, I'd strongly recommend against shared libs right now
for otherwise untested programs.  It adds too many confusing
issues - definitely start with static.

I will take a look at compiling the existing old !PDF sources in
the AB.  I think you said you had the new xpdf stuff I put in
building ok.  From that, the next step for you would be the
merge the two versions, which is much more a programming
exercise than fighting with the toolchain, as is required
getting old stuff to build.
