AxPoint is a Perl module that uses the PDFLib module and the pdflib library
to generate PDF based presentations from XML data sources.
It has the following features:
- Ability to create slideshows with your choice of background image
- Slideshows break down into slidesets, or not at your choice.
- Slides can show bullet points, source code (fixed font), or images.
- Slides can have transition effects (dissolve, box, wipe, etc)
- All elements of a slide can transition in too.
- Text on slides supports bold, italics, and colours. Colours can be any
one of the 16 HTML colours, or defined as hex RGB values.
- Output uses the standard XML::SAX::Writer consumer classes, allowing you
to output direct to a file, or to a string, or however you need to. Very
useful for dynamic web based presentations.
- PDF bookmarks allow direct navigation to any slide.
- Using PDF allows you to go "Full Screen", even on Linux
- Image formats supported include GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the

. Remove LIB_DEPENDS on print/pdflib(4). This is implicit with the
dependency on print/p5-PDFLib. Having our own dependency creates
version tracking problems and is unnecessary.
