Package: base
Severity: wishlist

muPDF is a nice and small PDF renderer
it is GPL-ed and done by Artifex
 which also do ghostscript

apart from X11 it only depends on:
 libfreetype libjpeg libz 

it includes:
 pdfclean pdfdraw pdfextract pdfinfo pdfshow
 cmapdump fontdump
 mupdf

its homepage ih here:
 http://ccxvii.net/mupdf/

it uses darcs as it's version control:
 http://darcs.ghostscript.com/mupdf

the build-process uses jam or ftjam
 but is quite painless otherwise
