So, unless I am mistaken, our evince package works because it either
picks up synctex from texlive_base if it's installed by chance at pkg
time, or else it is using its internal copy of synctex.
What do we want to do?
- In tex live, put synctex into its own subpackage and LIB_DEPEND it.
- In tex live, move synctex into -mktexlsr. Evince already LIB_DEPENDS this.
- Patch evince to always use its internal copy.
FWIW, I'm leaning towards the first option.
Cheers!
