landry@ just wondered why i need that CFLAGS assignment. well, it's
simple: poppler uses autoconf, but it does it wrong -- autoconf
detects things like libpng but then fails to use it (or rather the
correct include paths) during the build.

People, please stop using autoconf & friends. It doesn't work; it
*can't* work. You can't expect a tool to create configure scripts
*today* which will work on any system in the future.
