I wonder, do you have a use for the "mutool" integration that this
enabled, or did you add it simply because the configure phase fails
without it?

If the latter, I think we should instead pass '--disable-mutool', so
that cups-filters doesn't depend on two different PDF libraries.

Otherwise, we should make cups-filters refer directly to mupdf's mutool,
instead of looking for it on PATH.

Your thoughts?

I added it while trying to move my network printing server to GuixSD.
Someone™ documented that mutool was required for my needs, and
./configure complained about it missing. Seemed legit.

Meanwhile, it might have turned out to be a red herring[1].

In any case, the migration was unsuccessful.

This is fine by me. Done and thrown in the push queue.

Kind regards,

Okay, can you send the patch to the list, so that anyone who might be
using mutool has a good chance to comment?
