Ok, my understanding is that EXEC_PATH is equivalent to the PATH environment 
variable that was in place when Octave was run. Which is likely to include the 
default shell's PATH as well as additions needed to run Octave. In the event  
ghostscript is bundled with Octave, then EXEC_PATH is preferred over PATH.

The attached changeset looks for the console version of ghostscript, 
"gswin32c.exe", and still searches EXEC_PATH for gswin32c.exe.
