Woof: cups optimisation

When Woof imports a 'cups' package from another distro, there is a 'help' directory, that I retained as I thought it might be needed for the CUPS web interface. However, it seems non-essential, so I have now removed it.

The location of the 'help' directory varies with different distros:

T2: /usr/share/doc/cups/help
Slackware: /usr/doc/cups/help
Debian: /usr/share/cups/doc-root/help

I could have added code into script '2createpackages' to split the 'help' directory out to *_DOC, however I decided to treat this as a special case, and have done it in the 'cups' template.

I have added code into packages-templates/cups/FIXUPHACK to handle this. It will work for all distros. It locates the 'help' folder and moves it to cups_DOC in the packages-* target directory (ex: packages-slacko/cups_DOC).

These help files are about 1MB uncompressed, so a significant size saving.

Hate Mail?

"John says you’ve been getting hate mail recently. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73029 He say’s it comes from Puppyite’s forum members. Is he telling the truth? Are you getting hate mail from Puppyite or his forum’s members?

"Nicholas, I just looked at the Forum thread you linked to, John Murga does not state where my hate mail comes from. Yeah, I have received some vile hate mail, incoherent raving against me, Puppy Linux, and everyone involved. The guy is a complete idiot, sent the emails from a cell phone, and I was able to trace it. But, I am not doing anything about it. A person in the USA is all I will say. The posts reveal that the person has personal problems, probably mental, so I feel sorry for that person more than anything. I decided not to confront that person, and just ignore the emails.

"John made a strong argument that Puppyite or his forum members were responsible for you and he getting hate mail. Since John never offers any proof to support his accusations I guess Puppyite and his forum’s members are easy targets.
