Patch to improve cupsdir detection
Subsystems (2)
Hello
Since really a lot of time we are shipping in Gentoo attached patch to adapt cupsdir to our cups installations (that uses /usr/libexec/cups instead of /usr/lib) :

I send this to inform you about it and, if possible, get it upstreamed :-)
Thanks a lot

Given that the cups backend doesn't actually require the cups headers or development packages, you'd need to check for cups-config existing, and then use a nice default if not present.
This should be done in acinclude.m4, with a new macro, which will get added to the generated configure.
Cheers
