AFAIK, Windows comes neither with a Postscript viewer/printer nor with
a PDF viewer/printer. So for ps-print.el we have to ask people to
install Ghostscript on such systems. Assuming we had pdf-print.el,
which other software would we tell people to install? As mentioned
non-proprietary options are unacceptable.
This said, maybe ps-print.el could be changed so it can run `gs'
directly (under Windows); this would mean that the user only needs to
install Ghostscript without configuring something like redmon and
creating a special postscript virtual printer.
