 No maintainer free of charge. But, AFAIK, there is a site named GhostGum
 which posts shareware new versions. Look at http://www.ghostgum.com

That's http://www.ghostgum.com.au and they provide GView, which
is not gv, but also a previewer for GhostScript.

At least GhostScript and xpdf have no such switch. It should be

 Who go via EPS?

She doesn't have jpegs but GhostScript produces PDF with jpeg
compression.

 Any ideas what what the prepress thing actually does, by the way?

I suppose it loads some parameters for GhostScript similar to the
Prepress parameter settings for Distiller (i.e. mainly high
resolution and losless compression).

 This did not happen in the first run (I did a make clean in the root dir 
 and then did another make) which makes me suspect that 'make clean' 
 somehow removed libs/xpfd/xpdf/c-auto.h (and indeed, it is in the 
 teTeX-src tar.gz). This is an error in xpdf as afaik a make clean should 
 not remove the products of configure.

I fixed this some time ago and submitted a patch here; it's
