The patch to texconfig looks good. But the patch to dvipdfm looks fishy:

0.35278 mm = 1/72 in, the PostScript point (big point 'bp' in TeX, where
'pt' is 1/72.27 in). But what is b5var? I have never heared of any
'variant' ISO pagesizes. Besides, I am not sure if these sizes are
actually correct:
$ paperconf -p b5 -s
498.898 708.661
Similar for the other b? sizes. There is no such discrepancy for the a?
sizes:
$ paperconf -p a4 -s
595.276 841.89
What's going on here?

PS: Actually even the a? sizes are not exactly correct. All the ISO
paper sizes have full mm as length and width:
$ paperconf -p a4 -s -m
210 mm 297 mm
$ paperconf -p a5 -s -m
148 mm 210 mm
*Not* 148.5 mm as one might think. The above list for a? sizes uses a
simple swapping and devision by 2, though.
