Tim,
What is the significance of checking for version 0.16 of poppler and not earlier
versions?

What is the
significance of checking for version 0.16
of poppler and not earlier versions?
IIRC there was a significant API change at that point.
OK. Does that mean the poppler tqt wrapper in tdegraphics does not build when previous
versions of poppler are found?
If yes, then what does not function as expected?

There were poppler changes at 0.16. The biggest issue is that is the last
release that supported Qt3 natively. I don't recall a 0.17, but everything with
poppler 0.18 on was built supporting Qt4 only upstream. You couldn't even
configure poppler to build Qt3 binding and longer.
I don't know the status at all for TDE. This looks like a package were we will
need to bring the last version that supported Qt3 into the GIT tree (may already
be there, I'm going from memory).
I used to maintain poppler-qt3 for Arch in AUR and it is no longer buildable
from upstream.

I poked the git server at freedesktop.org, where poppler resides, and found what
appears to be the series of commits that removed QT3 support (five on Jan. 16,
2011, plus an outlier about a month later). Full diffs for these commits are
stored, so depending on how much the codebase has changed in the past year,
we may be able to just revert them.

That would be fantastic. I may still have all the older poppler sources
(somewhere). I we can just revert the changes in the current code, that would be
the best case, but if not, I have the last freedesktop sources before the
commits. I'll hunt them down if needed, but I guess you GIT masters could just
tell freedesktop to spit the code out as it existed on 1/15/2011.
For my education -- "How do you do that?" Say I wanted to clone the repository
as it existed prior to the 1/16/2011 changes, what would the git command look like?

I haven't read over the diffs in detail, but they seem to be
pure code erasure (many files were removed wholesale,
plus some switches in the build code). We might just
be okay.

Tim,
Is tde/main/tdegraphics/kfile-plugins/dependencies/poppler-tqt it?
