Well I don't imagine many people out there have a version of gs older than my 
venerable 5.50.

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=bbox file.ps
%%BoundingBox: 56 60 297 288
%%HiResBoundingBox: 56.105998 60.088002 296.100000 287.687997

This is gs area of expertise. I vote that we let gs handle it.
