Paul may have reason for optimism in saying:

and off to a good start by first seeing if he can't get out
doing the job himself.

People with experience and patience, will do this out
necessity, not to enrich society.  If Paul needs Ghostscript
>= 6.0, he may find himself uniquely qualified for the job.

Ghostscript compiled out of the box using the makefile dvx-gcc.mak,
and djgpp Version 1.12maint4.  The only problem I encountered was that
djgpp would crash during the final linking step.  The problem was that
the file ld.tr, which contained a list of a large number of .o files
was just too big for djgpp.  With help from Tom Brosnan, I fixed this . . .
