well, it's certainly to do with the presentation end of the process
(given the postscript "%%Orientation: (Portrait|Landscape)" header)
however, i'm somewhat surprised there's not some way of specifying a
page transformation to ghostscript which would avoid the painful
process of doing it via bit manipulation of the displayed image...

from a brief glance at the documentation, a ghostscript driver can
specify an arbitrary transformation between user coords and device
coords, so i imagine it should be possible to tell the plan 9 driver to
rotate the page if the page orientation said so.
