BTW, there is rarely a need to install Ghostscript explicitly. On Unix systems it's ubiquitous anyway, MacTeX provides Ghostscript, and both, TeXLive and MikTeX provide a "hidden" (not in PATH) Ghostscript for Windows. TeX Live provides a script called "rungs" which invokes the hidden Ghostscript on Windows or the gs binary in PATH on other platforms. If you have TeX Live installed, simply run rungs -help This should work on all platforms. MiKTeX has a similar wrapper. AFAIK it's called mgs.exe but I don't have Windows and can't check myself. But I suppose that under MiKTeX mgs -help prints Ghostscript's help message to screen as well. As far as AucTeX is concerned, it's probably worthwhile to check first whether either rungs or mgs exist. If not, check whether gs is in PATH. If everything fails, provide a reasonable error message. IMO it's best to try to use in the first place what already exists.
