Don't send the generated output to the printer by default.

Sending the file by default to the printer is (IMHO):

. counter-intuitive; the name a2ps suggests that the tool converts
  ASCII (plus other files) to Postscript, but it by no means gives a
  hint that it would print something without asking,

. violating the Unix way; we've got pipes, and people are used to use
  them when they want to print something (IMHO there isn't even a good
  reason for adding all the -P bloat to a2ps at all, but of course, i
  don't suggest changing _that_),

. contradictionary to all the documentation about a2ps since the docs
  tell you that it would only start printing if a -P or -c option is
  being provided,

. a waste of paper for the brave user who starts the program in the
  innocent assumption to get just a Postscript file out of it.

Comment out a2ps.el for now, this won't package since emacs is not a dependency (which is a good thing!).  Remove removal of site-lisp directories, they are created by mtree anyway.

From received mail: Hi, by accident I found that a2ps dumps core if invoked with options for the old a2ps version.

a2ps -f -F7.0

reproduces the problem. With the following patch the problem
seems to be cured.

The patches work.

Rename INSTALLS_SHLIBS to INSTALLS_SHLIB.  (There was a typo in the previous commit message to bsd.port.mk, which said INSTALL_SHLIBS.  Boo.)

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely.  Remove a couple of extra
whitespaces while I'm here.

Commit a patch for this I've been sitting on for a while. Changes `PS' to `PAPERSIZECNF' as I think it is more documenting.  `PS' will be taken to be PostScript by many (esp. in the context of printing) This method removes the use of external programs to set `PAPERSIZECNF'.

Remove LOOP_VAR and replace it with tiny Makefiles using MASTERDIR to share most files.  Repository copy the default to explicitly named directories to avoid any confusion.  Greatly simplify the shared Makefiles, since we are now in different subdirectories, we don't need "a4-install" stuff.

While I'm here, consistently name the variables.  Here are the
guidelines (master port is in brackets)

DOCFORMAT:	[html] pdf ps
KONFONT:	14dot [16dot]
PAPERSIZE:	a4 [letter] letterdj
RESOLUTION:	118 240 [300] 360 400 600

"math/r" has been copied to "R-a4" and "R-letter", to follow the
spirit of the original port.  "japanese/kon" is renamed to "kon2-*",
since that seems to be the basename.

Make thise ports use LOOP_VAR and LOOP_OPTIONS for PAPERSIZE.  While I'm here, make a2ps43's Makefile detect the missing PAPERSIZE correctly, and add -${PAPERSIZE} in lprps's PKGNAME.

Mark a bunch of ports with MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD.  With a change to bsd.port.mk that will be committed soon, this will disable automatic package building when PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined (so they can be built from separate scripts).

These are no-ops for ordinary users (i.e., when PACKAGE_BUILDING is
not defined).
