Subject: [PATCH] Round A4 up to a multiple of 4 total pages.

I can't easily get the number of actual pages processed, so rely
on telling the (rather hacky, and surprising - I have to
divide to a separate counter to force an integer result) macro
the number of pages used before the current numbering started.
