New release 0.4.0

We, PDFedit team, are glad to inform you, that new release has just been
thrown to the public. It is rather long time since last 0.3.2 release,
but hopefully this one addresses: 
	- compilation/installation issues - we have introduced new more
	  unified and compact makefiles infrastructure. No more several
	  stages configuration (xpdf subtree issues), configure script
	  respects some more standard parameters for installation
	  targets, boost, cppunit and other dependencies are checked
	  better and many more (see README file for complete
	  information). We hope that packagers will have easier lives
	  and don't need any hacks or workarounds anymore.
	- many bug fixes (see Changelog) some of them security related. 
	- last 3.02 xpdf code base imported to the tree. This bring
	  some new features like anti-aliasing for vectored graphics,
	  support for PDF 1.6, 1.7 specification, security fixes and
	  many others (see src/xpdf/CHANGES for complete changelog).
	- Tango icon theme added (thans to Tiziano Mattei).
	- kernel, xpdf, utils and tests are now ported and compileable
	  in MS Window (vc2005 project for Visual Studio is available)
	- and last but not least a lots of internal changes and cleanups

We are looking forward to your feedback and reports in our bugtracer if
something goes wrong.
