The poppler core library is considered private and with no API/ABI stability 
guarantees of any kind (that's why you have to force the autotools/cmake 
buildsystems to install the private xpdf headers); the inkscape developers 
know their PDF filter is using private API, although a solution is not being 
worked on (yet?).
