Well, if you have two systems with different size screens, or you use
different screen resolutions for different users, m4 pre-processing is
a real help. As long as the size of the object is fixed, you can then
calculate the necessary offsets for centering based on the ``HEIGHT''
and ``WIDTH'' values of the screen.

This may not be applicable for you.
