    Description     : add an inner margin to a pdf for printing

Current printer driver dialogues offer to print multiple pages onto one
which is good for printing presentation slides. However if you select an
option like this and you need to stick the sheets together afterwards
there is no space to do so. That is where you can use bundsteg. First
print/convert the slides to pdf and then apply the bash script bundsteg
to nup multiple slides onto one page and add a respective margin for
even and odd pages. bundsteg supports horizontal as well as vertical
stitching of sheets. It uses some other programs like pdftk, pdfinfo,
pdfcrop and pdfjam as well as the ghostscript interpreter gs directly.
