Not sure what you folks mean with "another package". A subpackage?
Or another port, maybe? There are already 3 FLAVORS in the
ghostscript/gnu port and I'm not sure this would mix well with
MULTI_PACKAGES. Another port would probably need some tweaks for the
shared libs. Just putting everything inside the same package seems
easier.

Whatever solution is taken, the *.so and *.so.18 files below should be
removed from the PLIST and resulting package; see post-install.
