[STR New]

A discussion on the Gutenprint developer list brought to light an issue
with the current implementation of cupsAdminCreateWindowsPPD.  Basically,
most of the Gutenprint options have no invocation code, so there is no way
for Gutenprint users to set many of the options when printing from Windows.

Updating this function to treat codeless options as JCL options would
address this issue nicely for both Gutenprint and other drivers that use
this method.

We'll still need to omit installable options from this list, and do some
testing on other PPDs to ensure we don't break something.
