There is an even better solution to this (you are not the first person
to run into this problem.)
Replace the above dependency line with "USE_GHOSTSCRIPT_RUN=yes", and
then set WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_AFPL=yes to use ghostscript-afpl instead of
ghostscript-gnu (the default.)
See the print/transfig port for an example on how to do this.
