Comment # 6 on bug 925371 from Dr. Werner Fink

Ahmmm ... AFAIK the eps2write is the replacment of epswrite that is it should
work out of the box without changing anything.  Or in other words: esp2write
outpout should be compatible with the old epswrite output.

What is the reason for ghostscript upstream to break existing programs.  Do you
know what Linus Torvalds does in such cases?  AFAIK Linus does not accept any
change in the kernel which break user space programs.  I'd like to see the same
behaviour in the ghostscript PostScript kernel world.
