That would be fine with me.  I don't care which port
installs it, as long as it works.  :-)

No, I copied /usr/bin/lpr to /compat/linux/usr/bin/lpr
and then told Adobe Reader to use "/usr/bin/lpr" (instead
of the defdault "/usr/bin/lp").

The above wrapper script (as /compat/linux/usr/bin/lp
without "r") should have exaxtly the same effect, except
that the Adobe Reader's default need not be changed.
I can give it a try in the evening.
