i'd like to second this particular request. in addition to making it
easier to use xpdf's code in other applications, having a shared
library would make dealing with security problems in xpdf much
simpler.
there has been a flood of recent DSA's [0] due to xpdf code copied
into other projects. if those projects were simply using a libxpdf,
we would have needed a single security fix, and all packages would
have been resolved at the same time. For all i know, there are still
other copies of xpdf code in the debian codebase that await
patching.
thanks,
--dkg
