I suspect this will be the process:

We can supply the source for all the elemets of DGS except gs6.0, so
tell the user:

1. get the gs-6.0.tar.gz file (or whatever it's called)
2. get the dgs-0.6.0.tar.gz file (same)
3. untar dgs-0.6.0
4. cd to dgs-0.6.0
5  untar gs-6.0
6. apply the patch file:
     cd gs
     patch < dgs.patch

7. Now cd .., configure and make and make install.

It should be really simple to generate the dgs.patch file. From the HEAD
revision:

  cvs -z3 rdiff -fRr gs-6_01 > dgs.patch
