I don't think that is really an issue. Until KDE4 is released there is most likely
a stable poppler 0.6 or even 0.8. And anyone that wants to install KDE4 will
need to have a very uptodate base system anyway.

Well, the duplication that is happening with kviewshell and okular is much worse
than having the same cmake file in two places. But this is a different topic.
