* Surely the proper patch would be for ${PREFIX}/bin/gs?? If PREFIX gets passed
* down that far.
Um, even if so, the default PREFIX is /usr/X11R6 for xv and /usr/local
for gs so I'm afraid that won't work. And just because a user is
using a certain value of PREFIX for xv doesn't mean she used it the
same thing for other programs anyway.
The only way (that I can think of) to reliably handle this is to write
a script which uses "which" to find gs, and use the default location
if it's not found. I'll write it if I ever get to it....
