[gdal-dev] Handling pdfium build / integration

I note the recent addition of pdfium for PDF support (alongside podofo and
poppler).
I'm a bit lost on which pdfium repo and branch to use, the best way to build
and install pdfium library and headers, and (because of that), how to point the
GDAL ./configure options to that install.
I'm mainly interested in linux at this stage. Windows differences might be
interesting later.
I originally did a build of the "upstream" pdfium (after checkout of the repo,
and then the depot-tools, etc). It took a while, but appeared to succeed.
I assume that the "upstream" pdfium repo is *not* what I want, and that I'm
meant to use either the "klokantech" or "rouault" repos that do not have V8
javascript support:
https://github.com/rouault/pdfium
https://github.com/klokantech/pdfium
Based on a manual grab of the build-lin.sh script (I forget which one I used -
probably klokantech, but they looked very similar), I got what looked like a
successful build.
However at this point I'm stuck. Which parts need to get installed for a
system-wide GDAL install, and what is the recommended way to do that?
After that, I'm hopeful that the ./configure options will be obvious. However
if there is anything subtle, please feel free to point that out!
