Title: New package: poppler

Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base. [http://poppler.freedesktop.org/]

Building poppler is blocked by issue #18 (since Qt is required; the fix proposed in issue #19 works fine)

poppler-application-fonts-dir.patch provides the possibility to provide fallback font files in a directory named "fonts" alongside the application using poppler. This is required to comply with the PDF standard's demand to provide the ["Standard 14 fonts"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_14_fonts#Standard_Type_1_Fonts_.28Standard_14_Fonts.29) since Windows' system fonts are no suitable fallback for the "Symbol" and "Zapf Dingbats" fonts.

poppler-qt4-globalparams.patch provides the possibility for applications to supply customized GlobalParams data. This is required to persistently use poppler-data alongside the application using poppler to correctly render certain CJK documents. This patch is based on one written by Jonathan Kew for the TeXworks project.
