Would yours be completely stand-alone?  I mean, not using shared
libraries?  My esp-gs is only about 6 Meg.  It's simply an install from
the current package:

dlb at localhost:~/tmp$ ll /usr/bin/gs-esp     
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      6343768 2003-10-27 14:47
/usr/bin/gs-esp*

dlb at localhost:~/tmp$ gs --version
7.07.1
