Question about Windows LP Code and Ghostscript

[James Lowe]

Hello,

Sorry if this is a basic question, but I have found an issue with Windows 7 and 
the latest SP1 that causes GS errors during LP compilation

A bug has been added to the tracker - actually it was closed as I was not able 
to reproduce this on a clean system but have subsequently found someone else 
who had the same errors and that led me to realise it was related to SP1.

Anyway, I see that after I have installed LP on Windows I have in the path

C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\ghostscript

and that this version is 8.70.

Just for kicks can I download the latest version of GS and simply replace the 
directories in the LP Path with these ones? or are there some 
dependencies/libraries that we build into LP (if that makes sense) that would 
cause this not to work?

It's a test machine, but I wondered if it was as simple as this to see if later 
versions of GS have the same problem without having to compile/make the whole 
binaries again (which I do not have the skill for).
