Hi. There's a small compilation/configuration error with gnu-
ghostscript-8.62.0 on MacOSX 10.5. Compilation of mkromfs fails
because of a missing linker argument:
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wundef -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-
prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wnostrict-aliasing -fno-builtin -fno-
common -DHAVE_STDINT_H -DGX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE="unsigned long long" -
O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wundef -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-
prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -fno-builtin -fno-

Rather than fight configure (:-() I just added a -lz argument to the
compilation invocation and all went well. Perhaps this could be
incorporated in a cleaner way in the next update?
BTW, I think it would be nice if you just bundled the jpeg and png
libraries with the source distribution. There doesn't seem much point
separating these. The code for these libraries is very stable (old?)
so they might as well be included with the standard ghostscript build.
Downloading these separately, unpacking them and then moving their
source directories around to get a nice ghostscript build/install is a
little annoying make-work. Is there some reason why these have
deliberately been kept apart?
