I've got the landscape part working, and have attached a changeset for those 
interested in testing it.

I still need to remove debug code (turned on by "-debug") and improve the 
documentation prior to committing.

Output devices that (should) work now are ....

eps, epsc, eps2, epsc2, ps, ps2, psc, psc2, jpg, png, pbm, tiff, aifm, dxf, 
emf, fig hpgl, pstex, and mf.

Devices not yet supported are ...

epslatex, epslatexstandalone, pslatex, svg, tikz

The first three need support for GL2PS_TEX, and the last two require GL2PS_SVG, 
GL2PS_PGF, respectively.
