How about making a separate Nix expression for GPL Ghostscript?

I find that little is gained by sharing the Nix expression and adding
all these conditionals in there (not to mention that ‘meta’ would need
to be conditional, too.)

Likewise, what about using separate attributes for GPL Ghostscript and
GNU Ghostscript?

Besides, I hear ‘getConfig’ is deprecated and old-fashioned.  ;-)

Thanks,
