I previously didn't update the hash, so was still building ghostscript-9.24
(which explained why docs were still from 9.24)
The ICC profile validation patch from #47937 is included in 9.25, so we
can strip it from the list of patches.

Highlights in this release include:
This release fixes problems with argument handling, some unintended results of the security fixes to the SAFER file access restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files), and some additional security issues over the recent 9.24 release.
CVE-2018-16802
CVE-2018-17183
Note: The ps2epsi utility does not, and cannot call Ghostscript with the -dSAFER command line option. It should never be called with input from untrusted sources.
Security issues have been the primary focus of this release, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits.
PLEASE NOTE: We strongly urge users to upgrade to this latest release to avoid these issues.
As well as Ghostscript itself, jbig2dec has had a significant amount of work improving its robustness in the face of out specification files.
IMPORTANT: We are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
* Version 4.01.17 works fine for me on NixOS, driving both a Samsung ML-2165w
and a Samsung ML-2510 printer successfully.
* Version 4.00.39 is broken. The build shows errors, but doesn't abort. The
generated binaries don't work, because they are lacking rpaths to their
library dependencies.
* Renamed old default.nix file to 1.00.37.nix. That version wasn't the default
and it feels like a bad idea to mix versioned and unversioned file names in
the same directory.
In a few cases it wasn't clear so I left them as-is.
While visiting these moved other things to nativeBuildInputs
when it was clear they were one of these cases:
* makeWrapper
* archive utilities (in order to unpack src)
* a few of these might no longer be needed but leaving for another day
The default version isn't enabled on darwin either, however it did work
at some point.

Greybird is dual-licensed as GPLv2 or later and CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later.
The first is free, and the second is unfree in nixpkgs. Currently both
licenses are listed in the package derivation. And nix takes that it is
unfree. If one of the licenses in the list is unfree. nix consider
that the software is unfree. Remove the unfree one.
The darwin build fails and it's probably not particularly useful there.

A new python script has been added to replace the aged viml-based
updater. The new updater has the following advantages:
- use rss feeds to check for updates quicker
- parallel downloads & better caching
- uses proper override mechanism instead of text substitution
- update generated files in-place instead of having to insert updated plugins manually
Automatically reading `dependencies` from the plugins directory has been
not re-implemented.
This has been mostly been used by Mark Weber's plugins, which seem to
no longer receive regular updates.
This could be implemented in future as required.
The $doc stuff needed changes, probably because of ghostscript newly
reacting to some configure flags that stdenv passes.
- share/ghostscript/9.22/doc was an ugly location for documentation,
and I didn't like their new share/ghostscript/9.24 either,
so that got changed to share/doc/ghostscript/9.24
- their process no longer installs examples, apparently,
but I don't expect that would be any problem for us
