FYI,
Recent versions of Ghostscript output version info with --help WITHOUT
the "Version"
$ gs-4.03 --help
Aladdin Ghostscript 4.03 (1996-9-23)
Copyright (C) 1996 Aladdin Enterprises, Menlo Park, CA. All rights reserved.
Usage: gs [switches] [file1.ps file2.ps ...]
$ gs-5.50 --help
GNU Ghostscript 5.50 (2000-2-13)

Here is a suggested fix:
--- config.pl.dist Wed Jul 12 00:15:01 2000
+++ config.pl Wed Jul 12 16:52:16 2000

BTW, I am not on this list.
