+Submitted By: Pierre Labastie <pierre dot labastie at neuf dot fr>
+Date: 2016-11-27
+Initial Package Version: 1.10
+Upstream Status: N/A
+Origin: Armin K and Gentoo
+Description: Generate shared libraries for mupdf, instead of static ones. This
+             allows to have the font information (around 35 MB) at one place
+             only, instead of in all the executables.
+Update: Bruce Dubbs 2017/07/15.  Changes to include new threads library.
