If all you want to do really is to overwrite the same file again and 
again, just don't give gs the "format" part of the file names we normally 
use - so instead of something like "myfile%03d.jpg", give it "myfile.jpg" 
for the output file name.

Without the "%03d" marker, there is nowhere for GS to store the "index" 
so it doesn't.

NOTE: this will *not* work for formats like TIFF which have multipage 
support (and multipage support is implemented in Ghostscript). For those 
formats, leaving off the format marker in the file name will result a 
single multipage file.

And, of course, I assume you don't have to worry about multipage 
Postscript files....
