Hurm. I have no idea what this is... I don't recall ever having a
'draft' image anywhere...

Well, we've already got

# Book xsltproc options for PDF and PostScript output
# BOOK_PDF_XSLTPROC_OPTS = --stringparam page.height 9in --stringparam
page.width 6.4in
# BOOK_PS_XSLTPROC_OPTS = --stringparam page.height 9in --stringparam
page.width 6.4in

in there, but I've put the line you provided in right below those two.

Committed in r10614.

Thanks,
