Please forgive a silly question.

I've rebuild the previous release (ghostscript-6.51-1) with X support
(mainly for use with xdvik in order to view dvi's with postscript 
illustrations).

While this were not a major hassle (just patch src/unix-gcc.mak a little, 
don't forget to set XLIBS=Xt SM ICE Xext X11), are there any reason not 
to release X-enabled binaries for ghostscript? Will gs then not run 
without the X runtime libraries?

Kind regards
Peter Ring

The Ghostscript package has been updated to fix a bug reported by
Greg Bond related to operation on text-mode mounts:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00400.html

This release of Ghostscript is an "X-less" version (i.e. one that
doesn't require X11), and so can be used without the cygwin-xfree
packages.  The GNU 'standard' and 'other' Ghostscript font collections
are included for convenience.
