>Description:

	The package print/mpage does not obey the default paper size as set
	in /etc/mk.conf with this:

	  PAPERSIZE=Letter

	It's builtin default is A4, which doesn't work so well on printers
	filled with Letter size paper.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Build print/mpage and print something to a printer filled with Letter
	size paper.

>Fix:

	I don't really know.  Perhaps it would be possible to replace line 47
	of mpage's Makefile with this:

	  PAGESIZE=$PAPERSIZE
	
	if $PAPERSIZE is set?
