Here's what I'd like to do...

a) Merge the two separate "map a locale to Letter/A4" rules of psprint and svx
so that its consistent. And agree on the territories that use Letter.

b) Merge the "snap size to paper type if it's close-enough" structures and
utilities in OpenOffice.org

c) Merge the vcl "Paper" enum and the svx "SvxPaper" enum

d) Merge the multiple vcl "Get the PostScript name for a Paper Size" things

d) Do a complete mapping for the "paperconf" use in psprint to all the names
that paperconf supports, e.g. the other ISO sizes and so on.

e) Change the LC_PAPER feature in psprint to query for the sizes from glibc
rather than mapping from the name as it is technically possible to install e.g.
a custom facet with a random name

f) Ensure that DMPAPER_B4 DMPAPER_B5 under windows refer to the *JIS* B sizes,
not the ISO ones 
(http://blogs.linux.ie/caolan/2008/08/15/microsoft-paper-sizes/)

g) Provide a single "GetSystemDefaultPaper" api that gets used by both psprint
and svx which takes the OpenOffice.org "Locale" setting as the basis for the
default paper (as apps already do) with the addition that "Default" under unix
will try paperconf and LC_PAPER before falling back to the locale territory 
lookup.

h) Merge assorted random Letter/A4 defines spread about OOo.

i) Provide a visible paper size for the Legal Paper used in the Philippines i.e.
#91260#

Attached is my cut at this. 

Any comments, especially along the lines of "hell no", "over my dead body". I
guess the most obvious contentious big might be where to put it ? I plumped for
i18npool because there is an i18n aspect to it as regards who uses Letter and
who uses A4 and that module is below vcl and psprint
