But building a new installation of HylaFAX from scratch, using all the
latest source code from the sgi and gs sites was not that difficult.  And
you have the choice of going strictly by the book (the HylaFAX and gs
docs that come with the current source code) or customizing for your
installation.  The 'by the book' method has worked well enough for me that
I've not been tempted to try to modify any of the defaults except as
recommended in the 'Building Ghostscript for HylaFAX' doc.  That's enough
control for me.
