Bug#940586: ghostscript: Please add gpcl in addition to gs

Thanks, your proposed approach is in line with my own thinking here.

I am a bit puzzled, however, why you file a sparate bugreport instead of 
following up on bug#855219.  Would you agree that it makes sense to 
merge #855219 into this one?

Oh, and btw: Any progress on your OS/400 project?

Kind regards,

 - Jonas
