      <!\-\- These are not needed right now. Inkscape builds/runs fine with the
           latest poppler as of this update (0.87.0). However, history says
           that almost every poppler version has broke inkscape, and history
           tends to repeat itself ;-). Keep these patches commented until
           they are inevitably needed.
