 pdflib 7.0.5_0 does not actually install the library... it fails during
 install, as shown in the debug log:


 ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 pdflib.h
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_print_pdflib/work/destroot/opt/local/include
 ../../libtool --silent ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 libpdf.la
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_print_pdflib/work/destroot/opt/local/lib;
 libtool: you must specify a MODE
 libtool: Try `libtool --help' for more information.
 make[2]: *** [install] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
 make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install'.
 make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install'.

 However, somehow the install continues...

 mkdir -p
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_print_pdflib/work/destroot/opt/local/bin
 ../../config/install-sh -c pdfimage text2pdf
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_print_pdflib/work/destroot/opt/local/bin

 ....and so on.

 So MacPorts believes the library has been installed, but actually only the
 header file is available:
 $ port contents pdflib
 Port pdflib contains:
   /opt/local/bin/pdfimage
   /opt/local/bin/pdflib-config
   /opt/local/bin/text2pdf
   /opt/local/include/pdflib.h
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/changes.txt
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/compatibility.txt
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/licensekeys.txt
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/PDFlib-API-reference.pdf
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/PDFlib-Lite-license.pdf
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/PDFlib-tutorial.pdf
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/readme-source-unix.txt
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/readme-source-windows.txt
   /opt/local/share/doc/pdflib/readme.txt

 I'd help fix this, but I've never really grokked libtool. :(
