I haven't tried it yet and can't vouch for how useful an upgrade this is but it can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1897&package_id=108733&release_id=214554 ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/GPL/gs801/ghostscript-8.01.tar.bz2 (Note that it's now in the GPL directory as opposed to the gnu directory of the Ghostscript FTP site.) Is the Fedora version so heavily patched that an upgrade would be difficult? (The Fedora package has certainly gone through quite a few iterations and seems to have a bunch of patches.)
