I think we can relax the ghostscript requirement to version 7.07 or later. I 
worked through some issues a few months back, and my test script (which 
produces three different sized plots for every combination of text.usetex and 
ps.usedistiller settings) didnt indicate any problems using ESP Ghostscript 
7.07.
