 Thanks for finding that! That's good to know. It looks like they are
 indeed keeping up with new versions of poppler, but it doesn't change the
 fact that pdf2htmlEX requires specific versions of poppler and fontforge,
 so their build process does build local copies of those specific versions,
 as I had talked about above. And although I'm pleased to see commits in
 their repository as recently as last month, I'm sad to see they haven't
 made a release in nearly four years, so if we use the latest release,
 we'll be using four-year-old versions that might have bugs or security
 issues.
