Bug#976080: pdfxup doesn't work anymore

I could figure out where the problem comes from: ghostscript added a
patch level in their version numbers. A way of fixing this is to replace
line 456 of pdfxup v2.00 (or line 363 of pdfxup v1.61, or line 354 of
v1.60), which currently reads

GSVERSION=`$GS --version 2>/dev/null`;

with

GSVERSION=`$GS --version 2>/dev/null|sed -e "s/\(.\.[^\.]*\)\..*/\\1/"`;


Sorry for this. This will be corrected in the next version of pdfxup.

Best wishes,
