My first test was with 2.9 in debug mode, and I thought I answered the popup error in such
a way as to have it continue the program execution, but apparently not.  I got different
results in that build, essentially an empty svg file.


Since then, using release builds for 2.8 and 2.9 do seem to work, although we have pies in
2.9 and the size of the plot was wrong because of clamping in the setter functions of
PAGE_INFO.  I removed those clamps and you can see the difference.  I don't see a that
those clamps are that important, except for perhaps Custom size, and they are probably
better off being put into the dialog rather than a "silent ignore" anyway.

Besides, somebody may want to used "baseball card" sized paper, we don't know.

Attached are the before and after results of commit 3449.

I think this is done now, except for "pie in the eye" on 2.9.
