There have been several followups to this.  However, I am surprised that none
have suggested what I think is a fairly simple approach, though one with a 
few drawbacks.  It is trivial to write a showpage replacement that `eats'
every other page.  Say you write two, one that eats even pages and one that
eats odd pages.  Then you just send the file to the printer twice, in each 
job prefixing the file with one of these two showpage replacements.   The cost
of this approach is clear - it takes twice as long to print the document. 
However, it works on (almost) *any* postscript file, no matter how badly
structured.

I haven't written such a program.  I feel someone must have.  If nobody posts
such a program over the next week, and you want it, send me mail and I'll do
it.
