Compile Okular with EPUB support

[Götz Christ]

From Wikipedia:

"EPUB (electronic publication) is an e-book standard, by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), which consists of three file format standards (files have the extension .epub), described below. It supersedes the Open eBook standard."

EPUB is used every day more and more to distribute digital books, not being able to read this widespread and popular format in Kubuntu is bad.

The other bug 345672 is already "fixed" so I open a new one to really fix it this time before Karmic is released.

In order to have this, we would need ebook-tools package to be accepted to main repository, therefore it needs MIR. Since we are past FeatureFreeze for Karmic, this might be even harder to achieve.

This bug exist since march and it won't be corrected for karmic because of dead-line? At least change the documentation which claim that okular in ubuntu is supporting epub and be honest and say that even if epub is an open format ubuntu doesn't know if they will support it.

I have to try with mandriva and fedora but in pardus okular is opening the epub file without a problem. It's interesting to see that ubuntu is trying to be bleeding edge and are missing some pieces like this at a very critical time (there are more and more epub users).
