Postscript is a language that contains drawing commands. A PS file is not an image.
From what I know, to convert a postcript page to an image imported into FreeImage, one would need to install a Ghostscript interpreter (as a DLL or a SO), run an external process to pilot this interpreter and tell him to render the postscript as an image.
This is not a mechanism I would like to include into FreeImage ...

Hi!
I just found out of this library and looks great, what I'd like to know if there will be support for PS/EPS support any time soon?
Thanks for the great work so far!
