Thank-you very much for the links!

It looks like there is overlap.  For example, we both wrote
poppler-movie.h/.c files.  Hugo's poppler-movie.h/.c files are more
complete then mine.  When I get time (which is limited due to my PhD
theses work), I'll work to use Hugo's poppler-movie.h/.c files in-place
of mine.

I generated my pdf example using the LaTeX movie15 package.  This
package seems to generate movies that are accessed by the
'Annot::typeScreen'.  Hugo's patch uses the 'Annot::typeMovie'.  This
led me to add AnnotScreen code, while Hugo's patch adds AnnotMovie code.
So, from this point of view the patches compliment each other (unless I
made a mistake).

Maybe we can make these into three patches.  1) Hugo's
poppler-movie.h/.c files. 2) Hugo's AnnotMovie code. 3) Sam's
AnnotScreen code.

Thanks,

Sam
