gdevdsp.h has had one change in 5 years to add separations.
iapi.h has had no significant changes.
I would say the version number is unnecessary.

Given that Linux tends to use /usr/share/ghostscript for common files, I'd 
lean towards using /usr/include/ghostscript

Sounds good.  Please do it.

Please note that I occasionally build using the unix-gcc.mak file on old 
platforms without configure.  I think Ralph wants to ditch this file, but I'd like 
it to be maintained, even though it might include only a subset of drivers and 
features.
