We use gdb extensively on-site, and also make use of the reference card.
However, we do not have access to American paper size so I needed to print
the reference card on A4.  My knowledge of TeX is not very good so I've
worked out the changes by trial-and-error, but I do not know how to make
the card easily configurable.  If anyone can do this please do.
