Please add this to doc/Use.htm with a statement to the effect that:

"This value will be used to replace the device default papersize ONLY
if the default papersize for the device is 'letter' or 'a4' serving
to insulate users of A4 or 8.5x11 from particular device defaults
(the collection of contributed drivers in Ghostscript vary as to
the default size)."

along with a suitable description of the usage. Also, please fix
the old section "Changing the installed default paper size" with
a comment that this supercedes the previous method of uncommenting
the line:  % (a4)

I don't think so. It isn't hard to do this way (certainly similar to
the previous 'uncomment' in gs_init.
