I still need the patch for poppler-0.15.3 for -zoom to work at all. However,
only the first hunk is required; the second affects only dpi of the pdf, which
should be mostly irrelevant.

Albert: This regression happens *only* because -zoom actually starts to work
with this patch, and its default value is not 1, but 1.5. Therefore, with this
patch, all PDFs are suddenly zoomed to 1.5x and it appears there is an
orthogonal bug somewhere in the link detection (with -zoom 2, the link is
correct again). I think:

* such a small regression seems incomparable with actually working -zoom
option, which can produce so much better PDFs to read, especially on larger
resolutions

* if you still care, simply change scale default value from 1 to 1.5. This will
mean that by default, the output shall be pretty much identical as in previous
versions, but users will actually be able to change the zoom settings if they
want.
