[tlbuild] epstopdf

[Ken Brown]

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.
