Hi Albert,

I just see that poppler-config.h in the brand new 0.19.0 now defines
POPPLER_VERSION.  Thanks.  This is, however, #define'd as 0.19.0 and not as
"0.19.0".  Is this a mistake or intentional?  I don't see any use for that
other than immediate stringification, but if this is intentional we
certainly can adapt to it.

Another point: compiling goo/GooString.cc yields many instances of
   error: invalid conversion from 'char**' to 'const char**'
   error:   initializing argument 7 of 'static void GooString::formatInt
plus
   error: prototype for 'void GooString::formatInt(...) does not match...
and the same for formatUInt (both with g++-3.4.6 and g++-4.6.2).
PLEASE FIXIT
