Use ghostscript dll's without installing it

Hello!
Great program!

I've got an question though.
Is it possible for nconvert to use ghostscript assemblies without installing ghostscript?
I guess nconvert gets the paths to the ghostscript assemblies from the register, but it would be nice if I could tell nconvert where to look for them.
This would make it easier to package an application that uses nconvert with ghostscript.

Ghostscript has a GNU GPL, so it's legal to incorporate it into nConvert (if abiding by the GNU GPL of course). That way users wouldn't need to install Ghostscript.

You can set XNVIEW_GS_DLL & XNVIEW_GS_LIB var.

I can't find that in nConvert's documentation, the only place I see it is in WhatsNew.txt. Same with -overwrite, its not in -help.
