Ghostscript 8.53 was already using autotools, but Russ Cox wrote a
mkfile for it when he ported it to Plan 9.
The current mkfile is already able to compile Ghostscript up to 8.63,
with almost no change. However, I'm only using Ghostscript 8.56, since
I wasn't able to run the following releases properly.
You could probably use the current mkfile as a base and expend it.
There are probably changes needed in the code that should be pushed
upstream.
