Matplotlib can't find 64-bit GhostScript which executable is 'gswin64c.exe', not 'gswin32c.exe'.

The complication here is that we don't know, just by looking at the operating system, which version of ghostscript the user may have installed. We need to try both. @grv87: Are you able to test the attached patch.

@pelson, @dmcdougall: This change changes the behavior of matplotlib.checkdep_ghostscript(). I guess that's an API change, but I don't know if it was really ever intended to be a public API. Any thoughts?

Oh jeez. If we get mailing list traffic from a change in return type of a function that checks for what version of ghostscript is installed, I'll eat my hat.

In all seriousness, I'm fine with this. Merging.

@dmcdougall: Love the xkcd reference. And I'm sure Austin has a lot of nice hot sauces that would taste good with your hat ;) j/k -- I agree this is pretty obscure.
