I removed PS() and DPS() calls from the frontend, but only ones that are 
not useful, like stack functions that you would only use when writting 
PostScript programs (e.g. execstack, dup, mark), and other functions 
that we could never implement because we would need a real PostScript 
interpreter (e.g. settransfer pathforall).
