Is it really needed to build a shared ghostscript library in order to
read PS files from ImageMagick? AFAIK, it does this job properly even
without the shared library, by calling gs through its delegate
mechanism. So what exactly is gained by linking ImageMagick against libgs?
I didn't change this except to make the install command in the
explanation more explicit. Note that this portion deals with installing
.h files.
You at least brought the text to my attention :) Maybe it is a good idea to
change the example application to GSView, because it (unlike ImageMagick) has
libgs as a required (not optional) dependency.
