I think false, true and false, false actually create a very similar if nto the
same behaviour.
But that leads me to the fact that (even if noone that we know was using it),
your current patch makes it impossible to get the same behaviour of having
useMediaBox = true and crop = true. Since that gave you a page as big as the
mediabox but the contents cropped to the cropbox, so i really think the
display methods should have two parameters
Page::PageBox box, Page::PageBox cropBox
that mimic exactly what the Gfx constructor parameters do, and we'd probably
need another value for the PageBox enum that would be something like NoBox so
you can pass it to boxToCrop if you don't want any cropping (passing a null to
Gfx).
What do you think?

Please don't do any change to existing code unless it's totally necessary.

You don't need to worry about that i'll take care of it when commiting.

That makes two of us ;-.)
