it's definitely and on purpose gone .. i kept it for a few years but not 
it's really gone in mkiv

so just use backgroundcolor=gray (or some shade)

(long long ago - dvi times - the distinction was there because we could 
fake gray using small periods so it was a different background plugin)

(just like nowadays \encoding[utf] is not needed and colors are enabled 
by default)
