or perhaps other utilities pop up and page adopts those instead of using
gs as a swiss army chainsaw.  I would *love* to see ghostscript removed
from 9front.

I agree with the wiki in that APE should exist but I think 9front should
be fully useful without it.  Removing APE from 9front would make it
simpler for those who care to run sigrid's npe or some variant of
Harvey's APE successor, for instance.  

People often act as though removing something from the base 9front
distribution is akin to banishing it forever, and it just ain't so.  A
clean separation would even simplify regression testing.
