This is an update notice for those of you who use the Foomatic spell in the
Printer section (and for those of you who are considering it). :^) Foomatic
has been updated to 3.0.0 recently, and they have modified the package so
that there are now 4 pieces rather than 1 (or 5 if you count the 14.6 MB
collection of PPDs). :^)

I have completed the spell modification and am in the final stages of testing.
I don't think there will be any problems to the updating of the basic spell
itself, but you may find that something is missing that was there before. It
will simply be a matter of casting one or more of the additional spells to
fill it out.

I have chosen to split foomatic into four spells rather than leaving it as one
spell for two reasons:
1) Not all of the components are required to achieve basic functionality, and
rather than force the user to have everything, I let them decide.
2) The various components will be changing at various rates. While foomatic
itself is not a huge package, this allows only those components that have
been updated to be recompiled.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a "heads up" so that you are prepared.
I plan on integrating it into the devel grimoire early next week.
