Might as well remove this too.

I wanted to cover it in a separate commit. Do you think I clean up this section all at once?

Really up to you. I would probably do it in one go.

Unless you are trying to make more commits for some reason, it would probably be preferable to remove everything that is gone or deprecated in one go.

  • Remove WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER as well. Entire USE_GHOSTSCRIPT is already deprecated.
