yeehh... I've tried it... spent some time on it today, but not
successfully... :(

Of course, I probably stressed the poor ghostscript right away by
feeding it with the worst eps file I had around, but it looked like it
didn't wanna swallow it.
Then I looked at the implementation of PIL's ghostscript plugin, and
it seemed remarkably short comparing to the boatload of command line
parameters that gs has.
So I had the feeling that PIL isn't quite enough robust for my needs.
