When the call to `gsc` fails, Gerbil could call a diagnostic function that returns a more appropriate error message.
That's why *if* there was something off, *then* run diagnostics, such as calling gsc with some parameters known to work, for instance comparing the output of `gsc -v` to the...
Also specially recognize GhostScript, which is a frequent thing to clash with Gambit.
I would make it a diagnostic always run (with redirected output) after a single compilation call (of e.g. `gxc`), and explicitly called before by a build script when a build...
I suggest that Gerbil should prepend "Gerbil " to its version string, which would make it easier to distinguish Gerbil from GhostScript.
