Go for the small one--for the same reason that I've gone with `mupdf' rather
than `xpdf'--being able to comprehend the whole system at once.

...Talking of `mupdf', what's happened to everything that used to be under:

  http://www.df.lth.se/~mazirian/*

and is there any code more recent than the `0.7' snapshot?  (2003-01-22).

At the same time, I should probably mention to Raph that the stuff on port
8080 of `svn.ghostscript.com' is all down (and was broken previously anyway).
