 produced PS using wxGUI Cartographic Composer, the file has been created.
 But if I try to open it using e.g. Gimp, it fails.

 I don't understand much. You tried the preview or exporting PS file? The
 creation of the ps file is not related to this ticket, the reading of the
 ps file by PIL is the problem. When GIMP on Windows is not able to read
 it, it's a problem of ps.map module.

 The 'unix only' and '>/dev/null 2>/dev/null' in the ghostscript command
 must be a serious problem for Windows or not?
