Hello,

currently the book contains installation instructions for both GGV and Evince, because Evince's ghostscript parameters cannot be configured at runtime. This unconfigurability leads to uncorrectable display quality problems when displaying certain PostScript files. That is not a problem for GGV because it can be configured.

Now I remove this objection. There is really no reason to keep GGV anymore because those Ghostscript parameters can be adjusted in Evince at compile time.

Please add the following optional command (before running ./configure) to Evince page and then (if there are no other objections) remove GGV:

sed -i '/^AA_PARMS=/s/"$/ -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dDOINTERPOLATE"/' configure

(sorry, this long line wrapped).

To the "Command Explanations" section:

sed ...: This command changes default command line options for Ghostscript in order to increase the display quality of text and high-resolution bitmaps embedded in PostScript files, at the cost of CPU time.
