My point was that where you now apparently go through a complex bit
with mogrify cropping A4 or letter sized pages generated by dvips,
you can just use *only* dvips to get the same effect, by using it's
-E commandline (it makes dvips create pages that are the exactly the
size of the 'bounding box' of the stuff on the DVI page).

So you go through these steps

  mp->tex->dvi->ps (pstopdf optional, dvi unwanted)

mptopdf does

  mp->tex->pdf->ps (pdf unwanted)

both are fine.

I was just amazed why you wanted/used mogrify.
