done

some features that are presented in the tests : 

test-poppler-evas : rendering, informations, list of fonts, index
test-poppler-(ewl/etk): widgets, pages, index

The text find functions work (i've tested them)

some things that must be done : utf8 stuff, using another font when one is 
not present. There's a policy problem with test-poppler-ewl, but it's on 
the ewl side, not poppler-evas.

Also, i think that there is some bugs in glib/poppler-page.cc, in the 
functions poppler_page_get_text and poppler_page_find_text. The y* 
coordinates are not well computed, imho.

Do you think that this evas backend can be committed now, or must I have 
to add/fix some things ?

thank you

Vincent
