We're getting into realms here, where my knowledge is extremely limited; I'll gladly accept advice from those more experienced, who may be able to suggest how this could be achieved. Maybe, rather than restrict things to just a few specific capabilities, provide a pdfroff option to pass arbitrary GhostScript options through to the back end postprocessor, (which of course, *is* GhostScript)? To avoid collisions with groff options, that should probably be a long form option. Any suggestions for a suitable name?
