jlam 80d8567605 * Be a bit more clever with expressing the dependency so that we don't
have to install mpage if we have another "text-to-ps" package
  installed.

* Add a "cups" package option so that this package can be used with
  CUPS without requiring any other "text-to-ps" filters to be installed.
  If the "cups" option is specified, then also try installing foomatic-rip
  as a CUPS filter (using the INSTALL script from the foomatic-filters-cups
  package).

* Move the example config file under ${PREFIX}/share/foomatic where
  other Foomatic-related data files will also go in the future.

Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.

The foomatic-filters package provides foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper.
foomatic-rip uses an external renderer (like GhostScript) to translate
PostScript to printer's native language. The printer capabilities are
described in PPD files. foomatic-rip works with every known spooler.
foomatic-gswrapper massages arguments to make Ghostscript execute
properly as a filter.
