[poppler] Removing xpdfrc dependency

[Albert Astals Cid]

I really don't know what these files are useful for at the end, but i suppose 
its for non-latin1 decoding. I guess that these files are freely 
distributable as Mandriva, for example, is distributing them.

So in order to remove them from xpdfrc i suggest:
 - Add that files to poppler and always distribute them, why should we make 
non-latin1 users second class citizens?
 - Let the code know where the package was installed, i mean, when you do the 
configure, we define a symbol based on prefix and then on code do 
open(PREFIX/rest/of/the/path/to/the/file).

Don't know if i expressed myslef correcly.

What do you think?

Albert
