* PAPERSIZE=a4

* There shouldn't be any differences in the PLISTs.

* No need to make it broken. All (most?) of the printing ports already

This pertains to the second part of my message, about being able to
type "make PAPERSIZE=a4" from ports/print and let it DTRT. Sort of a
"safety belt" for people used to the current framework.
