A new release candidate for GNU Ghostscript 6.53 is available for 
testing. This fixes some nits with the license headers on some of the 
new files and fixes two bugs in the cjk patch.

Source is available from:
     http://casper.ghostscript.com/~giles/ghostscript-6.53rc2.tar.bz2
     http://casper.ghostscript.com/~giles/ghostscript.-6.53rc2.tar.gz

as before. The previous release candidate as be renamed 6.53rc1 to 
distinguish it. You can tell them apart by the release date in the 
source and documentation; rc1 is dated 2002 Feb 05 instead of Feb 11.

Hopefully there are no serious problems and we can just rename this to 
the final 6.53 release.

Thanks everyone for the review,
  -r
