Hello Branden and Deri,
for a brief moment I was considering whether an additional control

the sources thoroughly, in order to have a good reasoning, but missed
to read the grodvi sources :/
Following the same order, i.e. width,height, to allow the same source to
run on either dvi or pdf makes a lot of sense; too bad t
