For now, the only extra options we need to pass a converter/viewer are paper
options (as some formats like linuxdoc/dvi do not store them).
Se we can just use text files that contains the flags rules.
For example, for dvips it would be something like
a4 portrait "-t a4"
us portrait "-t letter"
a4 landscape "-t a4 -t landscape"
us landscape "-t landscape"
...
