There are couple of very useful utilities that comes with xpdf such as
* pdfinfo
* pdftohtml
* pdftopng
etc

However these are installed in /usr/local/libexec/xpdf/ thus are not executable
by default, because they are not in any of standard execution paths.

In fact /usr/local/bin/xpdf is link to /usr/local/libexec/xpdf/xpdf.

Manuals for these utilities are available (i.e. man pdfinfo).
I think this is quite confusing.
I really needed pdfinfo but couldn't find it until I looked at xpdf ports
pkg-plist.

Why don't these utils deserve link in /usr/local/bin/ ?
