Hello Vincent,
If I understand correctly, you propose to add
\special{papersize=29.7cm,21cm}
to doc/refcard.tex.
(as in 'info dvips', section 4.1 `papersize' special)
However this has two negative side-effects:
1) This setting takes precedence over the xdvi -paper option which in turn
breaks support for GPXDVIREF in gphelp.
2) This setting take precedence over the dvips option '-t landscape' but
not over the option '-t a4' so doing
dvips -t landscape -t a4 doc/refcard.dvi produce a broken output.
Given that, I am not sure the advantage outweight the problem it creates.
Cheers,
