As I don't have any experience with Windows, I encourage those who use Windows
to respond.
Regarding the run-time dependency, would it be preferred to use GraphicsMagick
instead? (which I do not have installed).
I've not used gs except for simple tasks. One issue I haven't looked into is
how to tell gs to crop an image according to an eps-file's bounding box. I
don't know if or how ImageMagick does this, but thought the question should be
raised (the eps files produced by gnuplot imply a convas that have a 50pt
margin around the bounding box).
