Unless Hans rewrites the whole GS interpreter ... yes.

 

The problem is that current pstopdf doesn't work reliably for me (no
way to do EPSCrop, sometimes wrong paper orientation, the graphic
missing completely ...),
hmm strange -- do you have an example ?
By defautl gs choose rotation studying dominant text orientation on current page; cfr Setting page orientation
in Ps2pdf.htm
There is an option in pstopdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None .


so I usually stick to ps2pdf (perl or shell,
I think)
A wrapper shell around gs

There is also pstill
