Evince should include DVI support

[Owen Cliffe]

evince 0.4.0 includes resaonable DVI support which in many respects is much more
useful than xdvi,

The ubuntu build of evince does not have this compiled in.

While DVI is rarely used as a document format for interchange it is very useful
to have a good viewer (like evince) when one is authoring in latex.

fix:
add a dependency on libkpathsea
add --enable-dvi to the configure options

Could you elaborate on what the problem is?

Works fine for me on dapper, closing as fixing. Feel free to reopen with a reply to the asked questions if that's still an issue for you
