Okay.

Enh, if prefixing some things, I might as well prefix all.

Many systemv commands are already largely prefixed, anyway, including
cupsenable:
athena% pwd
/afs/.sipb.mit.edu/project/sipb/machtype/sun4x_510/build/cups-1.4.4/systemv
athena% ls | grep -v '[.][oc]$'
Dependencies
Makefile
accept
cancel
cupsaccept
cupsaddsmb
cupsctl
cupsdisable
cupsenable
cupsreject
cupstestdsc
cupstestppd
kaduk.sh
lp
lpadmin
lpinfo
lpmove
lpoptions
lppasswd
lpstat
reject
That said, my test of cupsenable today makes me think I'll need to
recompile to pull in krb5 support ...
