1) Fix minor errors in the print/cups breakup. 2) Make sure CUPS is installed correctly permissions wise. 3) Bump PORTREVISION to acknowledge #2.

Will Andrews (will) · 1.1.12_1
Break out the CUPS port into two parts: cups-base (libraries only) and cups-lpr (LP* replacement).  This is done to avoid clashing LPR systems but still allow programs to compile with CUPS support.  This is essential for the upcoming KDE 2.2.2 upgrade.

Note that ports/print/cups is now a meta-port for the two subports, to
preserve POLA.  Hence, this commit starts the new life for cups packages.
Bump PORTREVISION on all three accordingly.

Update port print/cups to 1.1.6 Changes:      o PORTREVISION removed (two typos fixed in source distribution        which were fixed by patches for cups-1.1.5).        Incidentally, PORTREVISION is spelled wrong in r1.2 of the         port's Makefile.      o patch-aa and patch-ad now obsolete      o MD5 checksum
