I downloaded the ghostscript source from any old gnu mirror:
ghostscript-2.6.2.tar.gz, and downloaded the linux-svgalib patches
from ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/misc, and did what it said in the
linux-svgalib README. The diff's, however, are against the clean
ghostscript-2.6.2.tar.gz.

Then I simply included all devices that are listed in the
linux-svgalib Makefile, except for the gif devices (mail unisys
for more info on why we don't use gif any more).

If some of the included devices make no sense on a Debian distribution,
please mail me.

Other things I did:
1 rename the svgalib Makefile to unix-gcc.mak
2 change the locations of the files in gs.1 (at the end)
3 All (?) other things I did are in the debian.rules file.




Things I'm not too sure about:
- I included all devices possible -- I may well have included a few
  that don't make any sence at all.
- In fixing bug 857, I've created the script "gs-papersize", that reads
  /etc/papersize like this: "gs -sPAPERSIZE=`cat /etc/papersize`"
  First, this may be rather slow.
  Second, this doesn't lowercase /etc/papersize, as Ian suggested. 
  But I think any install script should just make the text in 
  /etc/papersize lowercase, once and for all.
