Ok, I don't immediately see a single strategy that would work for 
both what you say CUPS needs and preserve the existing functionality
for those who depend on it, so please proceed by making the core changes 
depend on a switch, preserving the current behavior as the default. 
Please do this on the branch, and then merge down to trunk after we've 
verified it works on win32.
