    <para>
      <application>Evince</application> is a document viewer for multiple
      document formats. It supports PDF, Postscript, DjVu, TIFF and DVI.
      It is useful for viewing documents of various types using one simple
      application instead of the multiple document viewers that once existed
      on the <application>GNOME</application> Desktop.

      configure script will find
      <filename class='libraryfile'>libkpathsea.so</filename> and enable the
      DVI backend, but without this addition the compile will fail because it
      cannot find the required headers. Adding this to a system where
      <application>TeXLive</application> has not been installed does not break
      the build.
