I'd prefer a ``development-time'' dependency like with libegg, i.e. some
update-from-ggv.sh which copies the relevant files (essentially 2 .h and
2 .c files, maybe a third .h for constants) into the gpdf tree. Changes
to them are only allowed in the ggv tree.

Yes, otherwise (meaning: implement them from scratch, in addition to the
page list) it wouldn't make much sense to use the sidebar in gpdf.
