Which is a good reason NOT to replace it with Gnu Ghostscript, and that is a good reason to really try to fix MPL so that it doesn't require the latest Ghostscript.

But then, I'm not volunteering to try to figure all this out.

According to http://www.cups.org/espgs/, the current version of esp
ghostscript is 8.15.1

I just fixed a bug in the dependency checking. I'm sorry this didnt get fixed
before 0.86.2 was released, but I didnt know it was coming.

I just made esp ghostscript version 7.07 the default on my machine, and my
first test with mpl was successful. If anyone has a script that will produce
unacceptable results with ghostscript-7.07, please send it to me (and please
note any changes you have made to default rc settings).

Thanks,
Darren
