ESP Ghostscript init files location (8.15<->8.15.2 subdir)

[Jens Stroebel]

                        Hello.

During the install of the ESP Ghostscript package and it's use in the
resulting system, I had to create a link
   /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15 -> 8.15.2
to enable gs to find it's initialization files (gs_init.ps et al.).

Attached is a patch to give a genral idea of what I'd have liked
to read to not run into "Can't find gs_init.ps" in the first place.

It's of course just a suggestion and the wording is "sub-optimal";
it should give an idea of what the problem was and how it was solved
here, though...


                greets,
                  Jens
