Ok, then - will you fix the 'ghostscript' requires directive ? I thought
the change was intentional because i saw the old 'requires' line was
commented. Btw why don't you check your setup.hint files first - I guess
as a maintainer you're the one that knows best how the setup.hint should
look like.
About the 'zlib' dependency - I was just pointing out that zlib can be
safely omitted. I think it doesn't hurt if you keep the zlib as
dependency, though.
When you fix the setup.hint files as necessary, please, let us know, so I
or someone else on the list can check them again.

Hmm, I don't know if this is correct; I pretty sure that the
ghostscript package will not run without without the -base package.
The -base package contains all the font files (among other things.)

OK, I guess I was just being explicit; running cygcheck on gs.exe
I think will show that zlib is required, so I was just making sure
it got included.
