Please do. I *think* I left the old support in there until I got rid of
all the LIB_DEPENDS in the pkgsrc tree, but just forgot to delete it
after that.  Whatever, it should go - NOPIC, and ELF systems will fail
otherwise, as you note.

Yuck. And I thought xpdf was a fairly recent addition, too. Now where's
my whip?
