One possible idea is to provide a defcustom to customize this list,
and make it nil by default.  Contrary to popular belief, there's no
need to use -I on the gs command line: you can set GS_LIB in the
environment instead.  That's what I do (my value of ps-lpr-switches
doesn't have any -I switches).
