How to build GNU ghostscript 7.05/iX.1

The source code is packaged as a diff against the original ghostscript sources.
Please download ghostscript-7.05.tar.gz from one of the www.gnu.org mirror sites.
Instructions below assume a GNU.ORG logon, because this is my porting setup.
You might also be able to build/install in other accounts, though.
