Joerg, good point on dumping it into a string and the NNxNN option. 
Will do.  I'll also look into the margin parts -- I don't know enough 
typography to say whether this is "good" or not.

Dieter, do you know of any typography experts I can consult for these 
sorts of questions?  I'd like to have somebody on call for "expert" 
level questions.

(Dieter, because I'm not sure whether you see the commits, -Tps now 
supports an -Opaper=xxxx option, accepting "a4" and "letter" as 
arguments, and I'm forward-looking into more advance typography.)

Thanks,

Kristaps
