I previously didn't update the hash, so was still building ghostscript-9.24
(which explained why docs were still from 9.24)
The ICC profile validation patch from #47937 is included in 9.25, so we
can strip it from the list of patches.

Highlights in this release include:
This release fixes problems with argument handling, some unintended results of the security fixes to the SAFER file access restrictions (specifically accessing ICC profile files), and some additional security issues over the recent 9.24 release.
CVE-2018-16802
CVE-2018-17183
Note: The ps2epsi utility does not, and cannot call Ghostscript with the -dSAFER command line option. It should never be called with input from untrusted sources.
Security issues have been the primary focus of this release, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits.
PLEASE NOTE: We strongly urge users to upgrade to this latest release to avoid these issues.
As well as Ghostscript itself, jbig2dec has had a significant amount of work improving its robustness in the face of out specification files.
IMPORTANT: We are in the process of forking LittleCMS. LCMS2 is not thread safe, and cannot be made thread safe without breaking the ABI. Our fork will be thread safe, and include performance enhancements (these changes have all be been offered and rejected upstream). We will maintain compatibility between Ghostscript and LCMS2 for a time, but not in perpetuity. Our fork will be available as its own package separately from Ghostscript (and MuPDF).
The usual round of bug fixes, compatibility changes, and incremental improvements.
* Version 4.01.17 works fine for me on NixOS, driving both a Samsung ML-2165w
and a Samsung ML-2510 printer successfully.
* Version 4.00.39 is broken. The build shows errors, but doesn't abort. The
generated binaries don't work, because they are lacking rpaths to their
library dependencies.
* Renamed old default.nix file to 1.00.37.nix. That version wasn't the default
and it feels like a bad idea to mix versioned and unversioned file names in
the same directory.
In a few cases it wasn't clear so I left them as-is.
While visiting these moved other things to nativeBuildInputs
when it was clear they were one of these cases:
* makeWrapper
* archive utilities (in order to unpack src)
* a few of these might no longer be needed but leaving for another day
The default version isn't enabled on darwin either, however it did work
at some point.
