I've already uploaded them to sourceware -- they're in ~cwilson.  I 
checked them out -- they look okay to me.  I converted them from .gz to 
.bz2 to save ~1.2M on download, and I also noticed that the gs.exe 
binary was not stripped.

However, when I unpacked and stripped the gs.exe, it didn't really 
shrink the binary size enough to justify "re-owning" all the files in 
the tarballs as "cwilson" vs. "alcocer".  So, I didn't adjust that.

Since you expressed this interest, I didn't put the tarballs into 
contrib/ghostscript.  Go ahead and take a look yourself, and then move 
'em over after.
