Possible xpdf packaging error?

Dear Cygwin-ers --
Today I had use for pdftotext. It man page is installed, but the program
itself is missing. On Ubuntu (etc.) it is part of the xpdf package, the
Cygwin version of which I have installed. pdftotext.cc is in the source
package, but its executable is not present in the binary package.
So I am wondering if this is intentional (is pdftotext somewhere else?) or an
oversight. The situation seems the same from at least the 4.01.01 release
onward to 4.03 (current) release.
I suppose I can try getting all the necessary dependencies and building from
source, if need be, but though this worth asking about.
