Commit of build_consolidation branch
Squashed into one commit (see branch for details of the evolution of the branch). This brings gpcl6 and gxps into the Ghostscript build system, and a shared set of graphics library object files for all the interpreters. Also, brings the same configuration options to the pcl and xps products as we have for Ghostscript.

+See below some functions declarations for Visual Basic.
+
+Frequently Asked Question:
+
+Q: Each time I use the compress function I get the -5 error (not enough
+ room in the output buffer).
+
+A: Make sure that the length of the compressed buffer is passed by
+ reference ("as any"), not by value ("as long"). Also check that
+ before the call of compress this length is equal to the total size of
+ the compressed buffer and not zero.

+Got the answer! (I haven't had time to check this but it's what I got, and
+looks correct):
+
+He has the following routines working:
+ compress
+ uncompress
+ gzopen
+ gzwrite
+ gzread
+ gzclose
+
+Declares follow: (Quoted from Carlos Rios <c_rios@sonda.cl>, in Vb4 form)

+
+Here is another example from Michael <michael_borgsys@hotmail.com> that he
+says conforms to the VB guidelines, and that solves the problem of not
+knowing the uncompressed size by storing it at the end of the file:
+
+'Calling the functions:
+'bracket meaning: <parameter> [optional] {Range of possible values}
+'Call subCompressFile(<path with filename to compress> [, <path with
+filename to write to>, [level of compression {1..9}]])
+'Call subUncompressFile(<path with filename to compress>)
