An option to generate bookmarks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am wondering if a new option to generate bookmarks would be helpful. 
Technically, if the option is enabled, a '-z' parameter should be passed to
dvips like this:

$(DVIPS) -z -o '$2' $(if $(filter-out BEAMER,$4),-t$(firstword $4),) '$1' ...

This would however slow down the compiling process, and thus I suggested
the option to be disabled by default even if implemented.  Any feedback
would be appreciated. :-)

By "bookmarks", do you mean for PDF output?  It seems to work without the -z 
option
if you use the hyperref package with the [dvips,bookmarks] options.

I may be misunderstanding what you mean, though.  If the -z option really is
necessary, we could detect the bookmarks option and set it.

Yes I meant the stuff generated by the hyperref package.  You are absolutely 
right
about the options -- as I did not notice one can select different back-end 
drivers
for hyper-linking.  I think the -z option is not necessary anymore, and thanks 
for
pointing out the fact. :-)

Given that, I'm marking this WontFix, for posterity :)
