Okay, ghostscript-8.15.1-3.1.src.rpm is available from "rawhide"; have
built it okay.  It's a bit alarming that Red Hat didn't sign the file.

Now the next question: is ghostscript-libs-7.07-41.i386.rpm made from
a hacked up ghostscript-7.07-41.src.rpm from Fedora Core 4 updates?  I
have just done this:

* edit ghostscript.spec from ghostscript-7.07-41.src.rpm,
* add a new package libs, add %package libs %description libs,
  %files libs
* then rpmbuild -ba ghostscript.spec

Is that what you folks did?  If so, where is the hacked up spec file
or hacked up source rpm?
