Changing to #include "glib/gtypes.h" in

Thanks for fixing that Pierre.

Yes, many thanks. Yet again, poppler seems to go out of its way to
break users of the old 'unstable' interface.

If these codebases weren't so large, and I wasn't so busy with stuff
here, I'd offer to help upstream port at this point.
We're spending almost as much time picking up the pieces from poppler as
we are updating packages, and it's starting to get really out of hand. I
understand that upstream doesn't want them using it, but the problem is
that they have been for years. People are reluctant to change, and I
understand that - I can be the same way (I still seriously dislike
Meson/Ninja/Rust, but I have to accept that decisions were made above my
head).
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I understand that the poppler
upstream doesn't want anybody using the functionality, but it's too late
and there's nothing we can do about it.
How is poppler supposed to get people to stop using things they don't
intend to be external? Marking things as deprecated is often ignored.
In this case, inkscape was using an internal poppler header to define
glib constructs. The problem is not with poppler, it is with inkscape.
The only other problem package that I know of is libreoffice. I have
not built it yet with the new poppler, so we will see if that is a
problem. Of course we can always fix libreoffice by removing
--with-system-poppler.
Looking at the patch we have for libreoffice, it appears that we are
just changing gTrue to true and GBool to bool. Why is that a poppler issue?
