this is not yet possible, but I think a lot of the functionality to
create such a feature is already present, e.g. the filtered printing in
QGIS server with "autozoom" to the features.

For the mapbook printing, would the user provide a layer containing all
the mapsheet boundaries and QGIS should loop over all of them? Would all
mapsheet boundaries be of equal size or could there be different sizes?
The former case seems easy to me, but the latter? How should the layout
react if the mapsheets are of different sizes?

Anyway - please add it to the wiki:

Thanks,
Andreas
