This is certainly quite a big pull for us to move to ESP Ghostscript, IMHO. There is also a community push to re-base ESP Ghostscript on GNU Ghostscript 8.15. Perhaps the best thing would be to switch to ESP Ghostscript first (and iron out any problems that we come across) -- and then help with the upgrade to 8.15. Opinions? Tim. */
