[scribus-dev] updating PDF importing.

[NASA Jeff]

I think I clone the Git repository that's supposed to be sync of the SVN
repository.
Anyhow, I have the latest code from SVN now. I've got all the dependencies
installed and built using vcpkg . it may well be worthwhile creating a new
Visual Studio project with the paths that vcpkg installs too (as they are a
little bit messed around with compared to a Linux install of the headers
and libraries)

I had a go at setting things up with visual studio code but its visual
studio solution/project support isn't very well developed and it just
wanted to make a mess of things.
