Okay, I am thoroughly ashamed.  In my defense, when GIMP was able to
do "text along a path" I was not so worried about being able to load
eps files again.

I read the configuration spew and noticed that configure was not
finding xmkmf, which is Xorg's (previously X11) special variety of
make.

I installed xutils-dev (I am on Debian because I was told to and could
not find a good reason not to, way back when) and the warning
disappeared and the configuration report claims to be using the
postscript plug-in now (found in the source at
plug-ins/common/file-ps.c

Now it is building and I do not know if I will find ps, eps in the
files I might open with this new and improved build, but I suspect so.

If you are on a Mac, maybe you can forward this to apple(tm) and shame
them also.

I installed gimp.  Then installed ghostscript.  But don't know how to get gimp
to see that I have ghostscript.  Want to open eps files.

libpoppler does the same things.  See if you can open a pdf file and
relax if you can.
