However this will mean there will be a CWS that will make this migration and changes to psprint in other CWS will be moot (see the discussion about svn not warning about committing to moved files). So consider yourself warned that we will announce a time at which no changes to psprint should be made until a certain CWS is integrated (not that there are that many people doing that anyway :-) ) At the same time we could do a little cleanup and first thing coming to mind is the MACOSX specific code which could be removed. That would however mean that the old MacOSX X11 port would not really work anymore (at least WRT to printing). So I want to ask: do we really continue to have the X11 Mac port in the 3.0 line ? Are there any compelling arguments for this ?
