cannot build hpijs according to faq because there is no configure script

The hplip faq http://hplipopensource.com/node/92 provides instructions for building hpijs.

It says: BEGIN QUOTE
Use the following example instructions to install HPIJS only. Note, you must build/install from the "prnt/hpijs" directory not the top level directory.

tar xzvf hpip-0.9.10.tar.gz
cd hplip-0.9.10/prnt/hpijs
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

END QUOTE

Note that there's a typo in the faq (hpip instead of hplip at the first, but not subsequent, references).

In fact, it looks the 'configure' script in the prnt/hpijs subdirectory disappeared from the tarball around version 2.7.6.

It does exist in the prior version 1.7.4a, but that version is quite ancient and has problems compiling with modern compilers (my compiler choked on a const char* conversion from char*, which looks like it may have been superfluous in the first place).

So i'd request that either the FAQ be changed to match the current version, or the current version be changed to match the FAQ if possible.
