I´ve made some patches that are maybe interesting:
	http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~kapet/mgp/

En detail:
    fontfoundry.patch
	this includes font-foundry support for XFonts, e.g.
	%xfont "-urw-Avantgarde-book-r"
	%xfont "-urw-Zapf Chancery"
	this way you need no longer be carefull about the X fontpath.
    mgp2ps_psfonts.patch
    	includes full standard PS font-support in mgp2ps.
    imlib_load.patch
    	moves a bit of configure.in around and includes "--enable-imlib".
	if you use that switch, Imlib will be used to load images; all
	other loaders are disabled.
	(you will need Imlib:  http://www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/
	 it should be included in every major linux distribution.)
	imlib can load PPM, PGM, TIFF, GIF, PNG, XPM, JPEG and EIM itself 
	and calls standard convert tools for other formats.
