wondering why things stopped working after an upgrade, it took me a
little while to remember that lpr was overwritten.  but then it took a
while longer to find cups-enable, even after I remembered that I
needed to run it, because it's not cupsenable, which is the only one
that shows up when I type cups[tab].  I spent a good amount of time
trying to find a program with a name just like cupsenable but that
wasn't cupsenable.

Why is cups-enable installed only runnable by root?  It's harder to
find this way.  And why can't a normal user even read it?  It already
checks that you're root before doing anything, and we have tons of
things that aren't useful to users but are still runnable.

It's also not mentioned by pkg_info as something of interest.  It
should be, right?

While on the subject, the lpd.pre-cups test is a little broken.  I had
my old lpd backed up (pre-upgrade).  Now the 4.4 tools are gone, and
the backups are from 4.3 or whenever.
