+fbpdf (PDF viewer for the Linux framebuffer)
+
+fbpdf is a framebuffer pdf/djvu file viewer. It can use either mupdf or
+poppler libraries for rendering pdf files and it uses djvulibre library
+for rendering djvu files.
+
+By default, the fbpdf2 (poppler support) executable is built, along
+with fbdjvu. If you want mupdf support, install mupdf before running
+this build and it will be auto-detected. The executable that uses mupdf
+will be called fbpdf.
+
+This build includes a patch that makes the keyboard controls behave more
+like other PDF readers. Mainly, it lets you page through the entire
+document with the space bar (and backspace to go back), rather than
+requiring separate keystrokes for "scroll within current page" and "go
+to next page". If you prefer the original behaviour, set PRISTINE=yes
+in the script's environment.
