Log:
  Deprecate print/ghostview for removal at end of July 2014
  
  Gentoo removed ghostview in favor of print/gv eight years ago.  The
  latter is maintained both in ports and upstream, and it's a continuation
  of the original ghostview 1.5.
  
  This port is unstaged, unmaintained, and segfaults.  It's time to pull
  the plug I think.
