>Description:

	Since Ghostscript is now GPL'd and the other variants are no
	longer maintained, the current package names corresponding to
	them can make the users confused.  So, I think we need to
	change the port/package names to more straightforward ones.
	Specifically, my suggestion is the following:

	print/ghostscript-gnu -> print/ghostscript7
	print/ghostscript-gnu-nox11 -> print/ghostscript7-nox11
	print/ghostscript-gnu-commfont -> print/ghostscript7-commfont
	print/ghostscript-gpl -> print/ghostscript8
	print/ghostscript-gpl-nox11 -> print/ghostscript8-nox11
	japanese/ghostscript-gnu-jpnfont -> print/ghostscript7-jpnfont
	korean/ghostscript-gnu-korfont -> print/ghostscript7-korfont

	Portmgr, please handle the above repo-copy.  I will handle the
	remaining changes such as dependency fix.

	The reason why the last two entries should be in print
	category instead of {japanese,korean} category is that
	Ghostscript itself is not language-dependent.
