A problem with Ghostscript could make it possible to execute
arbitrary commands. The vulnerability exists when GhostScript
is used to process specially formatted PS files.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by creating a
malicious PS file which, when processed with GhostScript, will
result in the execution of arbitrary system commands.
Bump version to 7.05p1

That device is ways faster than the traditional x11 device, especially
with anti-aliasing turned on. Unfortunately, it requires shared libraries
and does not interface with gv.
Note: I hope all devices are back in. Those of you looking for hp850 &
friends support, the driver has been integrated into the `uniprint' driver.
`aladdin' stopped developping ghostscript. What exists is now called
`afpl'.
The 7.00 version offers a whole new set of possibilities. I haven't
even tried for compiling the gtk glue yet, but the most visible one
is the new, much improved aa support in x11 (compare the sample files
with old x11alpha and new x11 with aa options, as per gv).
Rename the directory along, leave aladdin ghostscript alone for now:
in two weeks time, GNU ghostscript 6.51 ships, and this will be just
aladdin ghostscript 6.50 with s/Aladding/GNU/. We want this for the CD.
Let ghostscript-encrypt grab its directory directly from aladdin or gnu
ghostscript.
Includes a perfectly sick hack to obtain PDFDIR from those directories:
we do need PORTSDIR at Makefile parsing time, and for that, we just hack
its value from the current Makefile, avoiding endless recursion with
a flag.
Note that this hack is clean though, and doesn't need extra knowledge from
the rest of the ports tree.
- mktemp code was fixed
- hp850 drivers integrated
- rename patches.
I know that 7.0 is out, but 6.51 is going to be out in two weeks,
and be gnu ghostscript, hence this update.
Note that I haven't roamed through new drivers yet, I'm probably missing
some.
