Ah... right. I was wondering how MinGW did compile having all these "problems",
but I should have read build script more closely instead assuming that
att archive was used as a patch.

Thanks for your reply, I wouldn't have made it otherwise :)

So building this on Windows, is even more straitforward. And worth noting is
that PDF is now accepted as input (unlike MinGW build) thus conversion process
is much faster.
Do you think you can include some of this info in your project readme?

Here is complete diff with patched GhostScript, assuming user copied gdevdjvu.c in
GS base folder:

I also assumed ps2utf8.ps is not needed with recent GS, and 
"-dProvideUnicode -dExtractText" is recommended instead?
