../configure --help

should list all possible options. I think the relevant option is
	--with-pdftops[=path_to_the_pdftops_binary]
which defaulots to /usr/bin/pdftops and assumes that whatever variant
(from xpdf or poppler) is located there.
Otherwise, Ghostscript with the path /usr/bin/gs is assumed.

As I currently have no (plans to install) 1.4.1 on my machine, I only can 
look into the sources at svn.easysw.com.
