The gslite library temporarily requires patches to gs/src.  See "Patches
for Ghostscript" attached below.

How to build and test gslite library with Microsoft Visual Studio 8
with Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2.

   # install the free visual C++ 2005 and SDK.
   # modify vsvars32.bat so visual c can find the SDK (vsvars32.bat
   # patch below) and open the Visual Studio 2005 command prompt.
   # go to the gslite directory
   cd tools\gslite
   # build the library see DEBUG options in the makefile
   nmake /f gslt_lib_msvc.mak DEVSTUDIO=
   # build and run the the test files.
   nmake /f gslt_lib_msvc.mak test

how to build and test gslite library with Linux 2.6.12 and gcc version
3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)

   # go to the glite directory and build the library.
   make -f gslt_lib_gcc.mak
   # test the library.
   make test

Note the linux makefile supports a threads test
(gslt_image_threads_test), it is the same as gslt_image_test except it
tests rendering 2 images in 2 concurrent threads of execution.  To get
this to run on windows wouuld require installing POSIX threads.

Patches for ghostscript
-----------------------

Note We will integrate these or compatible fixes into the gs tree as
time permits.


This is required to avoid a circular dependency in the build.

The following module does not compile without the patch.  We hope to
deprecate "check_interrupts" soon.
