Summary: Default for setpagedevice-pagesize should be enabled

Initial Comment:
In the file system-gschemrc(derived from system-gschemrc.in) the option for including the pagesize in generated postscript is disabled.  I believe the more useful default state is enabled.

I don't always print directly to a printer.  Whenever I use other tools, such as PDF converters, they need to know the size of the page in order to render the schematic accurately.  Including the pagesize is not going to harm ordinary printing and it allows extra tools to be used.  Please consider making the default enabled.
