okay. Indeed that's undesirable.

Yes it is. You can check that it is used by running the test suite like this:
`( cd obj-*-linux-gnu; ctest -V; )`. You will see that it aborts because it
cannot find compatibility.min.js in ./share. You have to run the test suite
like that because it wrongly shows success even though the tests fail. I'll
have to fix that and report it upstream.

The file share/manifest or /usr/share/pdf2htmlEX/manifest controls what gets
included into the final pdf. It is the "@compatibility.min.js" line in that
file which makes compatibility.min.js be included by the function
HTMLRenderer::embed_file in src/HTMLRenderer/general.cc.

compatibility.js is optional though. It is only useful for compatibility with
older browsers. This even if not the minified version, I'd like to include
compatibility.js in the output.

whoops. Sorry.

I removed the Built-Using because while it retains the original source, it will
not fix the version skew :/

I guess I use the unminified version of compatibility.js until bug#754533 is
resolved.

oooh - indeed that makes more sense now.

Thanks a ton for all your very constructive and helpful advice :)
