I have another question, in relation to one of your comments on bug #909
(Also, I enjoy replying to myself):

'The settings in Imake usually define what the "common" installation has
installed. When I install SuSE Linux I _always_ have Ghostscript. When I
install Redhat Linux I always have Ghostscript, too. Same applies to
Mandrake. And AFAIK NetBSD, too. Sure, there is always a way to
deinstall it, but then this isn't a "default" OS installation anymore.'

How does that apply to the current situation of using system packages
(e.g., for zlib, libpng, freetype) by default?

Thanks,
Donnie
