Even when I am using -gnome and -X the ghostscript ebuild tries to compile gimp
as  part of its cups support. This is a problem for my headless box because X is
not wanted. The ghostscript ebuild should use gimp-print-cups instead of
gimp-print when compiling without gnome.

Neither gimp-print nor gimp-print-cups should be included as a result of the
cups flag (although gimp-print-cups would be an improvement since it pulls in
less extraneous stuff).  There should be a separate flag to control whether the
gimp stuff is used.  Tacking unrelated options to use flags kind of eliminates
the whole point of having the use flags.

nb: the bug should be upgraded to "critical" (may spoil servers).

the following fixes it for me

btw. it's just a way to get rid of the nasty x (etc.) dependencies. i don't
claim it to be the right[tm] solution..
