Hello all, I tried to install print/teTeX on a headless server, which, because of being headless, has no x11 installed. As some of you might imagine, I ran into some trouble, because several dependencies required x11. I don't like to install x11 just for a few tools included in teTeX, which are not vital for the system to work, so I decided to add options-framework support to teTeX and one of its dependencies, tex-pdftools. The patches and options.mk files are attached as two separate tarballs, each named after the appropriate package. It would be really great if someone could review and commit them. I have added an if-block to the options.mk files, which honors the perhaps slightly archaic "NO_X11" variable - these lines might be unnecessary, but I have added it because it might still be used - if not, feel free to remove it. It simply adds "-x11" to PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS if NO_X11 is defined and set to YES (case doesn't matter), to ensure other packages using the options framework and have x11 set by default (like fonts/t1lib) will honor the -x11, too.
