[xep-support] Display of only running page count

[David Cramer]

Ah, I see now I completely misread your email. I guess that would be 
called "Illogical Pagination" ;-) In that case, the answer is yes: use 
the ps backend, render the ps with Ghostscript, and hope that limitation 
is never fixed.

Actually, the way logical pagination works is it would be:  "iv (4 of 
263)" v. "4 of 263"; i.e. the number in parens is always the total 
number of pages. The number to the left is the page number that's 
printed on the page. If you click on the "4 of 263" part and enter a 
number, you're taken to the absolute page number. If you highlight the 
entire contents of that window, you're taken to the number on the left. 
Perhaps the client doesn't understand that they can currently do 
everything they could do if they did have illogical pagination?
