Karl and Norbert,
Now that cygwin is being officially incorporated into texlive and is
being treated (appropriately) as a "Unix-like" system, do you think we
could finally fix epstopdf? See the thread starting at
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/tex-live/2008-November/019142.html for
discussion of that. In my opinion (slightly changed since I first
started the discussion), the correct fix is the following:

### ghostscript command name
my $GS = "gs";
$GS = "gswin32c" if $^O eq 'MSWin32';
-$GS = "gswin32c" if $^O =~ /cygwin/;
### options
$::opt_help=0;
Just to review briefly: The script as written requires the native
windows version of ghostscript to be in the path and fails if only "gs"
is in the path. That's crazy.
Thanks.
Ken
