Thats right. Actually GSView and Ghostscript aren't "official" part of 
ProTeXt anymore, because most people use PDFLaTeX directly. (In fact, if 
someone really needs it, and has a deeper look into the directory

hmm, it not quite clear to me, what you mean with that. The formats of 
[PDF][La]TeX are build, the first time you try to compile a document, 
which means they doesn't depend from a root-path.
