Michael,

I'm having some difficulty including ghostscript in the app bundle for MacOS X. 
The problem is that it is built to live in "/opt/local/..." and it actually 
resides in the bundle which could be placed anywhere. I'd hoped I could set the 
necessary environment variables, but haven't figured if that is actually 
possible, and if so, what they are.

How did you handle the ghostscript dependency ?
