Comment (by raimue at macports.org):

 This patch is so long it is very hard to review.

 {{{
         # Poppler with variants +glibSplash +glibCairo +abiword
 (+qt3Splash)
         # is the same as Poppler without any variant.
 }}}

 What is the purpose of these variants? Why not use `default_variants`
 instead?

 Do these variants build multiple different .dylibs or do all backends end
 up in one .dylib? Maybe the port could be splitted into several subports.
