Will see. I was going to build evance with libspectre support just to avoid dependency to ghostscript. But it turned out that libspectre support for evince is only in upstream svn at the moment, not released yet. So, may be I should try to reduce ghostscript size for now and release evince with it, I don't know what's better to backport libspectre backend or to use ghostscript.

BTW, I managed to build ghostscript today and its size together with libgs8 is 9.7Mb without any optimizations. documentation and man pages are 236K in size and could be easily dropped. It also depends on gsfonts(4.9Mb), so total size it is about 14.6Mb, which is a lot, but not 33Mb. Are you sure anidel's build is 33Mb? In reality it's less than that because of jffs compression, but still it's quite a huge amount of space.
