BUG: ghostscript 8.60 destoot phase installs into /usr/libexec/cups/filter

Description
The destroot phase (not the install or activate phase) of ghostscript 8.60 tries to copy a file into "/usr/libexec/cups/filter". Ghostscript may need to install things there, but it shouldn't do so until one actually installs the port. Doing it during destroot seems wrong. Note that this does not seem to be the same problem as the man page mtree violation that has been reported several times.
I'll attach a log fragment that shows what I mean.

One relatively easy solution is to offer the option of disabling cups. A variant nocups also allows a not-root user to install ghostscript.

Confirming this bug here too. In case of maintainer timeout (let's say this week-end?), I'll commit this patch, as I have ports that depend on a working ghostscript.

Committed a slightly modified version, as the variant name needs to be 'no_something' with an underscore. Also add a description. Thanks a lot!
