This is good! I had forgotten about ImageMagick. I have a function in
my .bashrc that defines ps2png using ghostscript:

function ps2png {
    gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=$@example.com -r200x200 $@example.com
    }

It could use some improvement, though. Now I have to feed it the name of
the postscript file *without* the .ps extension. Anyway know how to use
sed or somesuch to automatically change the extension from ps to png?
