it's definitely and on purpose gone .. i kept it for a few years but not
it's really gone in mkiv
so just use backgroundcolor=gray (or some shade)
(long long ago - dvi times - the distinction was there because we could
fake gray using small periods so it was a different background plugin)
(just like nowadays \encoding[utf] is not needed and colors are enabled
by default)
