I didn't :)
I forgot to include ghostscript in the installer, though it should be
possible to use an existing ghostscript installation, either by having
the gs executable in the PATH, or by using the GSC variable (see
scripts/plot/private/__print_parse_opts__.m). Of course, this assumes
that the ghostscript executable is relocatable, but it is common under
Win32 platform to have relocatable software (as octave is).
