I have taken a look at
<URL:http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/pstricks.el> which is
presumably the current version and probably the version written by
JPG, but it is hard to tell on wiki stuff.  So one should probably get
a fresh copy from the author.

Somebody would likely have to translate the interspersed French
comments and DOC strings into English.  The file is quite extensive,
and I have no idea whether it breaks coding conventions or something.
But it could likely be a useful addition.  I'd ask for an assignment
if people are willing to check whether it will be worth the trouble
and whether we have somebody that could do the translation still
required.
