The ps2pdfxx.bat files in TL are *not* the original files from GS, as
Reinhard already said. These are wrappers calling texlua scripts in
texmf/scripts/texlive/gswin32/ps2pdfxx.tlu. I don't think we even
include the original scripts (I don't see them in bin-tlgs.win32
package). Please, check first if the files you're talking about indeed
came from us. We don't want to bother the GS developers about our
scripts.

Cheers,

Tomek
