    start updating the TODO file
    
    TODO file had quite some rust and dust in it, making quite "difficult" for others to understand what can be done for helping.
    First step has been removing all the items done.
    Next is grouping items by areas, so it is more clear what should be done in what area; current areas are:
    - general items: for general stuff to be done, not specific to some area; an example could have been "use littlecms for color management?"
    - core: stuff which is specific to the core library
    - Qt4/Qt/glib/etc frontend: stuff specific for that frontend
    - new frontends: ideas for possible new frontends
    
    I was not sure about some items and Jeff Muizelaar's TODO, so I left them there.

-Here's the plan as of March 21:
-
-	- Finish glib and qobject wrappers and get rid of the 80
-	  header files that current constitute the poppler public API.
-	  Make sure the APIs are usable for kpdf and evince and other
-	  tools that use poppler (thumbnailers, metadata plugins
-	  etc.).
-
-	- Make the cairo backend feature complete and optimize the
-	  heck out of it.
-
+* general items:
 	- Investigate better (that is, normal) text selection.
-
 	- Use PDF font descriptors to create an FcPattern.
-
-Convert to use as much existing infra-structure as possible:
-	- drop t1lib entirely
-	- use fontconfig
-	- dont use /etc/xpdf.rc, add abstraction that can work with
-	  GNOME and KDE configuration systems (GConf and ?)
-	- improve cairo backend
-	- use jasper for jpeg2000 decoding?
-	- use littlecms for color management?
-	- use libtiff for ccitt decoding?
-
-Performance:
 	- Add simle performance benchmark that takes a pdf and renders
 	  every page 100 times or so.  Start keeping track of
 	  performance.

-Done:
-	- rename GString etc in goo lib to make it more glib friendly

+* Qt4 frontend:

+	- use Q_GLOBAL_STATIC for GlobalParams?
+	- use QSettings or another system for loading/saving Document/global settings?
+	- expose API for lcms/color management system
 
-	- Install poppler-splash.pc and poppler-cairo.pc to indicate
