True, it just strikes me as a bit of overkill, especially given that 99%
of the population would have been served by just having two versions, one
for A4 and one for US Letter. But I don't want to look a gift-horse in the
mouth.

Sounds like a good idea. Or, just make a parr.pl which will work on any
platform (it seem that a Macified version would) and eliminate the need
for a makefile (it seems just as easy to comment-in lines in a perl script
as it is in a makefile).
