Well, I've put the gamble on. Patch up at
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2985>. I guess
we'll have less of a chore dealing with user protests when using that.
I don't think checking for this problem with autoconf would be a good
idea, either: Ghostscript is just too likely to be upgraded
independently of LilyPond.
