PDF1.5 with layers: test 2

Here a simpler example:
'PDFlayers_tst2_pg1.pdf' has one page with two layers:
             ON PAGE    VISIBLE
Layer 1     : YES       YES
Background 1: YES       YES

'PDFlayers_tst2_pg2.pdf' has one page with two layers:
             ON PAGE    VISIBLE
Layer 2     : YES       YES
Background 2: YES       YES

Results 'PDFlayers_tst2_pdfunite0.59.pdf' has two pages with no layers.

Test made with just compiled poppler 0.59
Check made with Evince and Acroread
