Plans for the evolution of libpaper:

  - Make the library parse a /etc/papercap file with a format similar to
    /etc/printcap et al. A paper specification could be something like:

	a4|ISO A4 Paper:\
	  pw=595:ph=842:

	a4white80g|default|Default paper on Marin:\
	  :co=white:wg=80:\
	  :pc=a4

    which would define generic a4 (just the PS width and height) and then
    specify my actual paper, color white, weigth 80g/m2.

  - Try to persuade people parsing /etc/printcap to parse a non-standard
    `pa' attribute (or `ps') specifying the paper to use. For example on
    my home system I'd have:

	bjh|bjc600.32|lph|Ghostscript device bjc600.32:\
	    :lp=/dev/lp1:\
	    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/bjc600:\
	    :lf=/var/log/lpd/bjc600.errs:\
	    :af=/var/log/lpd/bjc600.acct:\
	    :if=/usr/lib/ghostscript/filt/direct/bjc600.32/gsif:\
	    :mx#0:sf:sh:rs:pc=6:\
	    :ty=Canon BubbleJet Color 600:pa=a4white80g:

Please comment.
