I never did a comparison about the two kits and I don't know which one 
came earlier...
PDFKit is as far as I know based on xpdf and does not use ghostscript as 
a dependency, you are probably thinking about the GSPdf application instead.

What name would you propose? I also don't know if changing the name may 
be a problem with the packages of the various linux and BSD distributions.
