In working on updating cups to 1.7 and adding cups-filters to

does.
Well, it is not something provided by upstream. I am not sure we should
either...
I think I agree with Joerg. In general I think pkgsrc should be as thin
a wrapper around upstream as possible, with most changes intended to be
sent upstream and applied by them. Plus fixes to install paths, and
adding rc.d files. I think we should minimize adding features via
pkgsrc.
Richard:
Have you submitted a bug report and fix to zlib? What did they say?
Do you know how the .pc came to appear in your illumos system?
