a2ps wierdness

[Kreider, Carl]

Sirs:

I am not sure you call this a bug, but is is from my perspective.
"psset -d" will not work with our HP. The reason is that, since
the option parsing

  (pagedevices="$pagedevices;Duplex:true;Tumble:false")

leaves a leading ';', the loop to generate the ps code generates
a blank entry which make the HP unhappy:

  %%BeginFeature: * 
    (<<) cvx exec / () cvx exec (>>) cvx exec
    systemdict /setpagedevice get exec
  %%EndFeature

My fix simply sed's off the leading ';':

  *** psset.old   Tue Jan 23 13:29:24 2001
  --- psset       Tue Jan 23 13:28:11 2001
  ***************
  *** 206,211 ****
  --- 206,212 ----
    fi
  
    # Prepare the PostScript snippet we plan to insert if needed
  + pagedevices=`echo $pagedevices |sed 's/^;//'`
    pspagedevice=
    saved_IFS=$IFS
    IFS=";"
