Not to knock your building xv w/ PDF support (it's useful), but the license
prohibits distribution of modified versions.  See the license information
at:

http://www.trilon.com/xv/manual/xv-3.10a/availability.html

for all the details... specifically para 6 of the Copyright Notice.  This
is why it was dropped from Debian in the first place.  Whether John Bradley
still enforces that, I have no idea, but there's been no new license
released.
