Just now I have added the standard (european) paper sizes into
GRASS 5/CVS. If compiling ps.map (or using the next binary release)
you get several ps.devices already defined. This makes life more
easy, I hope.


I have added a0, a1, a2, a3, a4 paper sizes.
Source code location (CVS only actually): 
 src/ps.map/ps.map.old/devices/
 src/ps.map/ps.map.new/devices/
