Well, the fact is that both (yours and Reece) patches are "wrong".

For example both change the errorFunction definition, that's obviously wrong, 
why fix it for windows and break it for the others?

Also i think i like Reece patch better, i don't see why fontconfig has to be 
left out from windows, i could compile poppler with fontconfig on windows so 
leaving them unconditionally out is a bad thing.

And yes, as Brad says we want to have windows working for KDE4.
