Fixing bounding boxes

• Ghostscript has a device called `bbox' which reports the correct bounding box size. I have written a little perl script, psfbb, to run gs and make a new version of your .ps file with the correct bounding box.
• psfixbb is a script to fix the bounding box within a postscript file.
• bbfig can report the proper size of a bounding box. You need to process the output of bbfig though to get the true bounding box value, since the BB is printed only after the new file is run through gs. If you get an error, this fix might be useful.
• ps2epsi will correct your bounding box. It also generates a preview bitmap of your file though, which may be unneccesary. (ps2epsi comes with Ghostscript?)
