If Joe is in the print server business, I am absolutely damn certain
that he has made modifications to the lp{rdc} stuff we have in our
tree, so I *seriously* doubt he would want to switch to LPRng in the
first place.
... Unless he already has sorted out the license and is using LPRng.
Should anybody be wildly emotionally attached to the current lp{rdc}
stuff, they can always dig it out of the reposistory and make it
a port if they feel like it.
Lets get LPRng in and be done with it.
