Version 8.15-1 may be marked as "test", since it is a major release and
my first attempt at packaging a release. The .hint says "curr" though.
The files are at ...
http://puggy.symonds.net/~mahmk/ghostscript/ghostscript-8.15-1.tar.bz2
http://puggy.symonds.net/~mahmk/ghostscript/ghostscript-base/ghostscript-base-8.15-1.tar.bz2
http://puggy.symonds.net/~mahmk/ghostscript/ghostscript-x11/ghostscript-x11-8.15-1.tar.bz2
http://puggy.symonds.net/~mahmk/ghostscript/ghostscript-8.15-1-src.tar.bz2
The hint files ...
