To get you started, we will assume that the origins aren't screwed up.  We can
flip the output along the X or Y axis to achieve the results.  This example will
flip along the Y axis.  Add these lines after the first line (%!) of the file:

	612 0 translate			% move to right edge of 8.5" paper
	-1 1 scale			% make +X value move left (mirror)

That is all there is to it.  Change the 612 according to your paper size.
