I suspect most applications generate "well-behaved" code that a simple parser
can be used to count pages.  But users can get very devious if they write
their own code or change the code of a PS file generated by an application.
Two things that I can think of off the top of my head.  The user can replace
the showpage with a copypage and erasepage.  Also, the parser would need to
deal the the #copies.  Looks like the simple parser needs a little more work.
