ghostscript packaging fails with native cups

[Louis Guillaume <lguillaume%berklee.edu@localhost>]

Hi,

I was just building print/ghostscript on Darwin, pkgsrc-2007Q4. This is 
in /etc/mk.conf...

USE_BUILTIN.cups= yes
PKG_OPTIONS.ghostscript += cups

... and it builds ok. But won't package...

Installation does the right thing...

./src/instcopy -c -m 755 cups/pstoraster `cups-config --serverbin`/filter
./src/instcopy -c -m 755 cups/pstopxl `cups-config --serverbin`/filter


Binary packaging cannot know where ServerBin will be on the target 
system. I'm not sure if pkg_add can discover this either.

So maybe these filters and ppds should go in ${PREFIX} somewhere so 
packaging is consistent. Then a message can be included to note that 
these are not installed in the normal place and should be moved or 
symlinked to ServerBin/whatever if needed. Kind of like how rc scripts 
are kept in the examples directory.

Maybe the install target can put these items in both ServerBin and in 
the pkgsrc examples directory.
