You are in a maze of twisty GhostScript versions, all different.
Exits are rename, rename or rename.

We already have ESP-GhostScript, so I think we should use GhostScript
(GNU-Ghostscript was already using that) and artofcode-Ghostscript
with a possible AFPL-Ghostscript if that ever releases again (I'm
confused about the plan for it).

Second-best is to rename the GNU one to GNU-GhostScript, call the
ex-AFPL one artofcode-Ghostscript and blacklist GhostScript as
ambiguous.  Maybe we could even include a 'don't use this, use one of
these' recipe or would that break stuff?

GPL-GhostScript would be ambiguous (which I think may be artofcode's
intention) and could apply to most of these competing versions so I
wouldn't use that name for any of them.

Hope that helps,
