[STR New]

In order for me to abandon my own ppd parsing code, I need some more
information to be returned cupsGetPPDs...

  Required Fields (attrs):
    Language Level, (nickname, modelname, shortNickname) used for display
to the user, manufacturer, Products (all of them), Versions (all of them),
 Filters, Prefilters, PDEs (Apple thing)
    Is Fax PPD, Is Raster PPD, Is Postscript PPD

  Optional for nice stuff:
     color, throughput


   We would like a way to ask for specific language to be returned
   I would like to be able ask for additional directories to be returned,
such /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources and
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj
   I would like to be able tell if I want the extra directories to be
parsed recursively (Maybe not!)

   Once this is done, then we will start thinking about changing all of
our matching code to this cups.
