Re: ports/print/ghostscript: add ghost{pcl6,xps,pdl,pdf}

Hello,

> The gs binary includes a pdf interpreter already.

Simply GhostPDL has GhostPDF. Not many but some people who downloaded
GhostPDF package needs it contains GhostPDF. So I included it.

And I thought providing separate packages like GhostPCL and GhostXPS
takes many costs to maintain.

I consider how the GhostPDL package should be, appending binaries
that needs GhostPDL from existing GhostScript.

How about to GhostPDL package that have only following files?
(and GhostPDF requires GhostScript)

bin/gpcl6
bin/gpdl
bin/gxps
include/ghostscript/plapi.h
lib/libgpcl6.so
lib/libgpcl6.so.18
lib/libgpcl6.so.${LIBgpcl6_VERSION}
lib/libgpdl.so
lib/libgpdl.so.18
lib/libgpdl.so.${LIBgpdl_VERSION}
lib/libgxps.so
lib/libgxps.so.18
lib/libgxps.so.${LIBgxps_VERSION}
