yah, that's what I was thinking.

No links off hand.  The functionality revolves around settings.
It gives users a way to quickly switch between settings.  Something
like
    - duplex high quality	(Presentation)
    vs
    - single sided low quality	(Proof)

It's very convenient.

Ok, I'd been mixing patches and thought that this was pulling in a
requirement for the patched cupsd.  Most of them can go in with the
exception of the configure.in changes.  We'll need to be more
graceful there and make the libgnomecups req dependent on cups in
general.  If you want to commit the rest I can handle that bit then
do a release with some of the win32 patches.
