This is not correct.

But that's not the point of this bug, yes, the Windows build should ideally include all the gs stuff for completeness.

You are right, I'd rather say the PS backend support is separated as okular-spectre and libspectre is the actual backend.

Yes, I'll appreciate it if all the gs stuff is included. I also noticed the latest version of libspectre can be successfully build on Windows. So I guess including libspectre is sort of "possible".
