Mea Culpa!  Mea Culpa!  Mea much stupido.

I was adding this and got interrupted and did not update the
CHANGES.

Just for the record:

The current views on 'configuration' is that services that require
some sort of configuration files (/etc/stuff) should put their files
in a subdirectory associated with the program.

Thus,  /etc/cups, /etc/lprng  (/etc/lpd ?).

HOWEVER, putting /etc/printcap in /etc/lprng/printcap breaks every
tool that uses the printcap.

Sooooo.... it should be left in /etc/printcap.

But you can put all the other stuff in /etc/lpd.

See configure --help:

  --with-config_subdir=CONFIG_SUBDIR configuration subdirectory (default 'lpd')
  --with-lpddir=DIR                 lpd executable directory (default \${sbindir})
  --with-lpd_conf_path=PATH         path of lpd.conf (default: 
\${sysconfdir}/${CONFIG_SUBDIR}/lpd.conf)
  --with-lpd_perms_path=PATH        path of lpd.perms (default: 
\${sysconfdir}/${CONFIG_SUBDIR}/lpd/lpd.perms)
  --with-printcap_path=PATH         path of printcap (default \${sysconfdir}/printcap)
  --with-lpd_printcap_path=PATH     path of lpd_printcap (default 
\${sysconfdir}/${CONFIG_SUBDIR}/lpd_printca

Note:  Once again the autoconf stuff has changed.  Now you do not get the
variables expanded... Sigh...
