Alternate pdftops script

I was able to build xpdf 3.x and put it in the default location.  I'll 
give the script a try.

You might want to add the pdftops.pl renaming and placement information 
to the comments in the script; then I wouldn't have had to bother you 
about it ;)

Thanks,

Hugh

I've downloaded pdftops.pl and the conf file, but I'm unclear as to where to put them, although the conf file says it goes into the CUPS_SERVERROOT directory.
