new gutenprint package, but I'll leave them for a while in case anyone

2008Q2 freeze.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.

Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
* The CUPS driver now reports pages starting from page
1 rather than page 0 as was previously the case.
* The Postscript output driver (in the GIMP plugin)
now functions correctly in non-US locales when a PPD file is
provided.
* A segmentation violation on the IA64 platform is fixed.
* A bug in the Postscript output driver causes the
GIMP plugin to crash on startup with certain PPD files.
* The horizontal printing position on the Epson Stylus
C63/C64 and C83/C84 printers has been fixed.
* The CUPS driver now handles, via a workaround,
incorrect Postscript generated by some programs.
* The package now operates correctly with on Solaris
and other systems using an external libintl.
* Gimp-Print no longer attempts to build (and fail)
the Print plugin against the GIMP 2.0.
* escputil now reports ink levels from all known Epson
Stylus printers. In addition, ink level reporting is more
reliable in general, with fewer timeouts or unparseable output.
* The HP DesignJet 2500 and 3500 now support correct
maximum page widths of 36" and 54" respectively, rather than 44"
for both.
* The PPD files now use the recommended manufacturer
names. Previously, certain CUPS applications could display the
manufacturer names incorrectly.
* The Epson Stylus Photo R200/R210 and R300/R310 printers, and the
RX500 and RX600 multi-function devices, are now supported.
* The HP LaserJet 1012 and Brother HL-1440 printers are now supported.
* Super A0 and Super B0 paper sizes are now supported.
* Translations for Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Norwegian/Bokmaal have
been added. In addition, other translations have been updated.

changes:
-bugfixes
-The native CUPS driver now accepts custom paper sizes with printers that
permit this (all Epson printers, and most others).
-The Foomatic interface now accepts custom paper sizes with Foomatic 2.0.1.
-A Japanese translation has been added.
changes:
-many bugfixes
-Quad tone grayscale inks, such as the Piezography (TM) inks, are now supported
for most Epson Stylus printers. This is not tuned for a particular inkset at
this time, so the results will not be of top quality yet. This capability
should be considered beta.
-Many new Epson Stylus printers are supported. Please see the complete list of
printers at the bottom of these release notes.
-A new dither algorithm, EvenTone, has been added. This algorithm produces
superior results for photographs and other continuous-tone images, but in its
current form it may not be as well suited for solid color images and line art.
This algorithm should be considered beta.
