Sorry I'm so slow to respond.

What you do and where you do It depends on what is required for the patch.
If
the patch is to add another file or package to Ghostscript, check out the
following spells for ideas on how to proceed:

printer/ghostscript
chat/gnommeeting
devel/expect
disk/gradm
games/exult
gnome/evolution

There are others, but that should get you started. Pay particular attention
to BUILD, DETAILS and PRE_BUILD.

If the patch is to modify an existing Ghostscript file, look through BUILD
files in various spells (some of the ones listed above will work) for
examples on how and when to use sedit (or sed). (Using grep will help you
locate candidate spells.)
