I've been interested in doing this, too, and haven't done it any
slicker than with a separate dvi.  The only approach that seems to fit
TeX's model for how a printer works is to use fonts that are rotated,
but it seems hard to allow TeX's placement to work well.  Another
approach is to write a dvi filter that allows a \special{landscape},
but that has portability problems.
