Subject: [PATCH] Remove bbox Ghostscript device

The bbox device is used to count the number of pages in a postscript
file very inefficiently to make sure at least one page exists before
attempting to render the file. Currently we do not build ghostscript
with support for the bbox device hence the need for this patch.
