I saw that, it seemed to me to be totally about the print server, at least,
that's what the postscript file I saw was about ... nothing whatever about how
to parse the config file (or, the other thing I will be on about before I feel I
have the entire enchilada, which is the RIGHT way to print crud into the xorg
log file in /var/log).  The stuff about printing, I figure it's my next target,
but it's going to be comparatively minor in size.

The only things I saw in that design thing were about how to configure the font
server, NOT how to write code to help something do configuration, which is what
I'm on about.  I still need guidance in how to handle this, I have too little
experience in this project for me to presume I know whats the right way to deal
with what I'm generating, and it'd be a shame for other new coders, to let it
just disappear.
