we don't need qt3 nor qt4 support in poppler.
Don't do that, it means bulk builds will build poppler twice, and thus
be slower.
If you build manually, just install the poppler you want first.
We all benefit from faster bulk builds but if someone who doesn't
realise this like me untill now builds evince it will take them much
much longer to build qt too and they may just not bother?
Ports is not about being convenient to users building the ports as has been
stated many times. Use the packages.
Errr. the packages take ages to arrive, so people might be turning to
ports? I don't know. I am just throwing it out there, as I don't use
packages myself (for now).
Then said users put the manual work in to manually build certain
packages using pseudo FLAVORs and such to cut down on building or
just build them in the same manner as a bulk build.
