In case anyone reading is unfamiliar with what is meant by "WYSIWYG",
which I have used several times, it means "What You See Is What You Get".
Print preview is of course "normally" supposed to reflect visually what
will be on paper. For some user populations this is not desirable (some

Solaris ships PAPI. Doesn't ship CUPS.
Hmm, yet another library. Easily mistaken with PAPI the "Performance
Application Programming Interface" library too.
So, exactly what does PAPI give us? Is it good enough to allow us to

If this is for GLib internal use only, and you know the variables and
values in question are ASCII only, I think you could do away with the
ifdefs and just use getenv() on Windows, too.
