Well, actually 7.07 was my default installation on Fedora before, so I
am not particularly surprised.  That was apparently one of the few
GhostScripts that actually _worked_ even with PDF.  Which, by the way,
is the most interesting case, anyway.

I shall probably try 8.15 and 8.50 which I have now installed in some
obscure side directories.

By now we have the variants
AFPL GhostScript
then with some delay behind it
GPL GhostScript
then with even more delay and patches and excising
GNU GhostScript
and then generally following after it, but with lots of patches
ESP GhostScript

As if having two variants had not been enough of a nuisance already.
