D. REQUIREMENTS
===============
-* Perl5 (version 5 of the perl interpreter).
-* Ghostscript:
+* Perl5 (version 5 of the perl interpreter)
+* Ghostscript (>= 8.0 if PDF file contains rotated pages)
* pdfTeX, version >= 1.0 (because of page selecting and \pdfximage syntax)
-* A unix like environement is needed (Unix, cygwin, ...).
- The output of ghostscript's device bbox is written to STDERR, so
- the script has to capture STDERR. Easy under Unix, but how this
- can be done under DOS/Windows/...?
