[l2h] Installation issue

[Bruno De Fraine]

Hi,

SOME INFO:
- Windows 2000 Service Pack 2
- Perl 5.6.1 from ActiveState
- Aladdin GhostScript 6.01
- latex2html.pin,v 1.58 2001/11/14 01:34:26
- config.pl,v 1.38 2001/10/25 10:39:27

ISSUE:

Installation fails when I do:
	CONFIG.BAT PREFIX+d:\latex2html

it prints:

checking for gswin32c... D:\Aladdin\gs6.01\bin\gswin32c.exe
checking for ghostscript version... no
Error: could not determine gs version

(+and some related error messages from not correctly detecting Ghostscript 
version)

I managed to fix this by changing the regexp on line 1011 in config/config.pl:

from /Ghostscript\s*(?:Version|BETA RELEASE|TESTER RELEASE|)\s*(\d+[.]?\d*)/i
to /(?:Version|BETA RELEASE|TESTER RELEASE|)\s*(\d+[.]?\d*)/i

This is because of somewhat strange behaviour of Ghostscript. When I do:

	gswin32c -h

the output to the console is:

However when I don't let Ghostscript print this directly to the console, 
for example by doing:

	gswin32c -h > out.txt

I get this in out.txt:
