I'm out of my depth, I've looked at the s-*.tex layouts, and have read
chapter 3 of the manual, but am not confident in designing a page
layout.  For instance, I'm not sure how I ensure that vsize comes out
as a multiple of baselineskips, or how to ensure that double sided
pages are printed correctly.

 My initial design parameters (for a double sided page) are:

1) paper size = A4

2) hsize = 2.5 times the length of the lowercase alphabet in
           the default font -- lucida-bright at 12pt.
           i.e. \setbox0={abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}
                \hsize=2.5\wd0

3) vsize = golden-ratio times hsize (rounded to integer baselineskips)
         = 1.62\hsize

4) backspace margin = hsize divided by seven
                   
5) topspace margin = backspace margin.

How do I translate these into my \setuplayout parameters?
