[STR New]
When building raster drivers, we often make multiple OEM versions of a
single driver where the only thing that varies are user visible names
(e.g. "Acme foomatic 2000" becomes "FooBar Raster Ultra").
It appears there is no way to set the values of .drv file variables from
the command line. Without that, we have to create separate .drv files for
each OEM build. If the values of variables could be set from the command
line (e.g. like -D for gcc) we could use a single .drv file to create many
different PPD files.
