gs 8.71 pretest

Hi Didier,

Perusing the gnu-ghostscript-8.71.0.20100730 pretest (thanks), I just
see a couple minor things:

- in README, it would be good to switch ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/
  to http (FSF sysadmins' preference), and 
  after "GNU ftp mirror sites worldwide.", add http://ftpmirror.gnu.org.
  (Which autoredirects to a mirror.)
  
  Also, I suggest adding a reference to the GNU GS home page,
  http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript, to the README.

- in LICENSE, the last line of this statement:
 The CMap files are copyright
 Adobe Systems Incorporated and covered by a separate license
 which permits only verbatim distribution.
  is happily no longer true.  The sentence should just end with
  "... separate license."

- Ken Lunde released new versions of a few files a month ago.  For
  instance, the UniJISX02132004-UTF32-H in Resource/CMap is stale.  See
  latest posting at http://forums.adobe.com/community/opensource/cmap
  and downloads at
  http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/Downloads (or the copy I
  maintain on www.ctan.org/support/adobemapping).

That's it.  It compiled and works fine for me.

Thanks,
Karl
