I wrote the current mkfile, starting with what Rob had done
and trying to automate it somewhat. I fixed up the automation
to handle current versions of ghostscript and installed gs 8.53.
I try not to update gs too often, because it is huge and because the
updates bring little actual benefit (the last update was four years ago).
The new gs correctly handles the PDF that Brantley posted.
