Thanks, sure it helps!

Now the second question, how do I make the code available to others?

Also, I see in the TODO 
(http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/TODO) that there is a 
wish to make ArthurOutputDev optional. Why? Isn't it better for someone 
who uses Qt and poppler-qt frontend to make use Arthur? Make Splash 
optional.

  Cheers,
