I thought about including WITHOUT_X11 in any of the changes, but a) I want to see the generic response of the port maintainers, b) Playing aroung (because having problem to create useful and senseful patch, because it seems a little bit more complecated) with print/cups-pstoraster c) wasn't sure to use Mk/bsd.port.mk or a solution like lang/php4 has: print/ghostscript/bsd.ghostschript.mk, maybe with some more common in a Makefile for all ghostscript derivates ... Best, Jens PS: Your suggestions are very welcome - you can mail me! in german, too :-)
