Actually, no, that's not how it is at all.

The default is /usr/include, /usr/bin, etc.  OSX is BSD-based, so
the serverbin directory defaults to /usr/libexec/cups, but the
standard configure script handles that already.

The main differences are in the scheduler and the mDNS/Zeroconf
stuff they have added; I hope to get that integrated into CUPS 1.2,
so we'll be more in sync...  Also, Apple's standard filter set is
different than CUPS...
