begin patches/patch-ac:
This patch removes the  code that tries to figure out  the cache size of
the host. The  algorithm may very well fail under  some circumstances --
it  makes too  many  assumptions  about the  cache  behaviour, but  most
importantly,  the  figured out  values  ARE  NOT  USED anywhere  in  the
ghostscript code anymore.
