Is cups really a requirement?

Hi;

Looking at the IP Clearance wiki, cups is not used anymore
but the configure script will fail if it doesn't find it.

Something wrong there, I think. ;)

cheers,

Pedro.

The question is if it's really used at all. If it isn't
it should not be a requirement and we should do like
any other configure system that detects things and if
if it doesn't find stuff it just doesn't use it.

FWIW, at the moment I am using ---disable-cups.

cheers,

Pedro.

We are not shipping our own version of cups anymore, but now a system 
provided cups is necessary.
