merging a cropped page reveals the region cropped away

[sdghosh]

Hi,
Thanks for the great function additions in 1.13, especially the "merge page" functions. I'm however having difficulty using them with cropped files.

Suppose I want to rid myself of unwanted text on one side of a page, and so apply a crop:
page.mediaBox.upperRight = (page.mediaBox.upperRight[0]/2,
page.mediaBox.upperRight[1])

Now, let us merge this page onto a newly created blank page using:
newblank = PageObject.createBlankPage(None, 612,792)
newblank.mergePage(page)

Unfortunately, in the merged page "newpage", all the cropped region in "page" get displayed again, i.e. the mergePage function does not honor the mediaBox/cropBox of the file being merged. Can this be fixed?

Thanks!
Soum
