The most convenient solution is:
   use the printer driver (the emTeX drivers have such an option)
another solution should be to use DVIDVI
but, of course, it would also be possible to do it with TeX:
   change the output routine to drop every 2nd page, and make two runs of TeX
   -- but that seems to be not the `right' solution in this case, isn't it?
