Juan -

I don't know how to do this simply using ghostscript.  Perhaps
certain flags passed to ps2ps?  Or, possibly, you can output to
the epswrite device.

You can definitely use Roland Bless' ps2eps (requires perl
and ghostscript):

My suggestion is that you try asking ghostview questions in
one of the forums listed in your ghostscript help file, probably
located somewheree like:

/INSTALLDRIVE/ghostscript/gs7.04/doc/New-user.htm#Need_help

If it's just about adjusting the BoundingBox, then you can use the 
"epstool" program. Check out its options, there is one for automatic BB 
calculation...
