%GHOSTSCRIPT  Calls a local GhostScript executable with the input command
%
% Example:
%   [status result] = ghostscript(cmd)
%
% Attempts to locate a ghostscript executable, finally asking the user to
% specify the directory ghostcript was installed into. The resulting path
% is stored for future reference.
% 
% Once found, the executable is called with the input command string.
%
% This function requires that you have Ghostscript installed on your
% system. You can download this from: http://www.ghostscript.com
%
% IN:
%   cmd - Command string to be passed into ghostscript.
%
% OUT:
%   status - 0 iff command ran without problem.
%   result - Output from ghostscript.

% Thanks to Jonas Dorn for the fix for the title of the uigetdir window on
% Mac OS.
% Thanks to Nathan Childress for the fix to the default location on 64-bit
% Windows systems.
% 27/4/11 - Find 64-bit Ghostscript on Windows. Thanks to Paul Durack and
% Shaun Kline for pointing out the issue
% 4/5/11 - Thanks to David Chorlian for pointing out an alternative
% location for gs on linux.
% 12/12/12 - Add extra executable name on Windows. Thanks to Ratish
% Punnoose for highlighting the issue.
