Use Ghostscript for EPS import

[Mrdocs-users]

Scribus uses Ghostscript + plus a special import.prolog
file to convert EPS/PS files into native Scribus
objects which are then editable.

This concept could be adopted to give very high quality
EPS import into Inkscape, which would then leave those
objects fully editable after import.

Potential issues:

1) Many EPS files are in CMYK, so either Inkscape will
need to support CMYK internally or b use lcms to assist
with CMYK > RGB mappings - otherwise there will be
dramatic color shifts in some cases.

2) We have found detecting GS somewhat tricky on Win32.

3) It really works best with GS 8.50+

nice idea, if a knew how to di it I would support.

Even gimp has not a so precise pdf parser....
pdf is now a standard out for almost any application...

better pdf/eps/ps/vectorlikeline import is important for
data exchange

Thank you for your idea to improve Inkscape.

ps/eps import switched to ghostscript via pdf in svn
