 Did I say it was? 8-I

 You make me wonder whether I "speak" English well or not. Please, remember
that this is my second language, even though it was the third one I did
learn.
(I speak Finnish, Swedish and English, plus that Danish and Norwegian is
understandable to a swede - though they are very different at times).

Most of the time I find free software to be very "portable" i.e. it compiles
out of the box. What I was referring to above was the cases when this isn't
true.

 Haven't had the need nor time to have look yet; is that a simple option to
GS, or do one have to muck around with "~/.ghost-profile" or some such =-) ?
