Re: Ghostscript and GhostPDL 9.20 release

Looks like was my fault after all.

The Ghostscript release archive still had the PCL and XPS related
sources in it, which it shouldn't. I've updated the archive now.

You can either re-download the release archive, or just delete the pcl,
xps, expat, jpegxr and gpdl directories from the sources you've already
got, and re-run configure.

But please still open a bug for the XPS and PCL builds not working,
because I'd like to remember to investigate that.
