Ghostscript-9.0 can be a simple operation.  Nothing needs to be changed
in LilyPond; and in GUB at least linux and mingw builds are tested.

Guile-2.0 is a whole different story.  We first need full support in
LilyPond [possibly guile 2.1].  Cross building guile 2.0 is still much
in flux too.  It will probably be possible to do 32bit->64bit cross
builds too, in a while.  It would be nice to get versions out to test
but I would not expect to switch soon.
