Thanks - but this is exactly what I do *not* want to do.  My first
idea was to do something like
\def\onepageworthofmaterial{<whatever>\page}
\dorecurse{4}{\onepageworthofmaterial}
which is similar, but simpler.
You will need to tweak the output routine for that. See the
definition of \dofinaloutput and \dopagebody. But that can be tricky.
Why?  I thought this should Just Work™?
As long as you don't have any auto-generated numbers (\section, etc) or 
references. Typesetting them multiple times will increment the number each 
time. You can prevent that by enclosing the material in a \box. Then you 
need to handle floats and footnotes...multiple columns....and automatical 
select one page worth of material. So, either you end up effective writing 
your own output routine, or tweaking the existing one.

Fortunately, Hans  already had implemented this feature :)
