hmm. ghostscript?

Most of the above are basically the result of using a nearly complete
gnome environment.  The only exceptions I see are tar, textutils, gcc,
make, sed and texinfo.  I'm not sure on the ghostscript thing.

If we require gnu make, sed, textutils and tar unless it's an
automake/autoconf caused problem we should look at removing this
requirement.
