   "GhostPDF" is mostly a marketing term at this point. It's not
   useful for distinguishing code bases.

I like the name a lot :)

   We're not sure what we're going to do. We're well aware of
   maintenance burden of having the PDF interpreter in PostScript. 

   We may port mudpdf to the gs graphics library,

Interesting.

   or maybe just spruce up mupdf+fitz. In any case, we're slowly
   migrating things to C.

Thanks for the info :)
