Hi,

I want to introduce two new useflags for printing packages. It would affect 
all printing-driver packages, this are at the moment: hpijs, gimp-print, omni 
(not yet in portage), foomatic-db (foomatic v3.0, not yet in portage), but 
there may follow more.

The current status is that some drivers only install ppd files (e.g. hpijs), 
some foomatic-xml files and ppds (gimp-print) and some only foomatic xml 
files (foomatic-db).

To clear this situation I want to introduce two new use flags:

foomatic and ppds

Foomatic is a database to create ppd files (printer-driver files) out of xml 
files.

Foomatic should be in all profiles, as this is the way the gentoo-printing doc 
describes setting up a printer. Those who want to build ppds for all 
printers in a driver package should set the ppds flag.

mfg, heinrich :)
