Well, I need to verify, but I think that is exactly JASmine-Backend does. 
In fact, I have a doubt : JASmine _always_ launches the real backend 
using 6 arguments, giving it the path to the document to print. So I 
guess that the real backend always think to be in the same mode, and 
never generates copies itself. Because :

 * 6 args : JASmine gets the document's path, and passes it to the real 
backend with 6 args. So, both JASmine and the real backend work in the 
same mode, and I thinks this is good.

* 5 args : JASmine reads STDIN and sends the data into a tempfile, then 
launches the real backend with _6_ arguments. JASmine and the real 
backend are thus NOT in the same mode. I guess this is an error, because 
the backend will think it does not have to generate copies. I just got 
aware of this, because of this thread.

Well, I'm not sure, but I need to work on this. For 0.0.4 ;-) ?
