Hi,

looking at an (overdue) update of print/ghostscript/gnu, I'd really
like to get rid of the a4 flavor. It's stupid, device drivers testing
for a cpp macro 'A4' are cleary wrong (because they can derive the
paper size by other means), and I can't think of many people still
using DEC LN03 or Xerox XES (featuring sixel graphics) or similar
cruft (I saw some mentioning of hercules graphics somewhere in the
code). People using a printer whose gs driver requires the paper
size defined at compile time should probably just buy a new printer.

So, unless I see some real complaints, the a4 flavor will be removed.

CIao,
        Kili
