Building recent versions of Ghostscript is easy, assuming you are using 
Visual Studio. Open the visual Studio project, allow VS to upgrade it to 
the version you are using.

There are projects for Ghosscript, GhostXPS and GhostPCL, as well as the 
language switching build GhostPDL which is temporarily non-functional.

So select the project you want (Ghostscript), select Release or debug and 
32 or 64 bits, and then choose build.

That should be it.

If you want to build with something other than Visual Studio then its going 
to be more tricky.

Also, you want to build in the dfaxhigh device, and that is *not* built as 
standard on Windows, nor is it built as one of the contributed devices, so 
I'm unsure how to even get it included in the build at all. Its certainly 
going to mean altering a makefile.
