Well, I wonder if we really need libgnomecups anyway.  From kicad
README:

"KiCad requires wxPython built with the GNOMEPRINT=YES option."

I can't help but wonder if wxPython really needs that any more;
I suspect that it uses the newer printing stuff included in 
either glib or gtk or one of the related libraries.  Assuming 
that it does, I suspect then that kicad would actually be fine
without libgnomeprint and then we could just drop it.
