Seems to me that it would be better to keep xpdf separate for texlive.

I am the tetex-tex4ht maintainer, and as it is updated regularly I am
not sure that it is a good idea to have it in texlive. Moreover it is
already a complicated package by itself, especially if you want to be
able to build from the literate sources. I am not definitively against
maintaining it within texlive, but it isn't obvious to me that it is the
best way. I haven't have a look at texlive already, though.
