Aye, there's the rub: "option." Without getting too far into the weeds, here's the situation:

1. All GBS.*.* anchors look alike.
2. Only some of those anchors are used in pagemapping. The rest appear to be garbage except (possibly) in a Google ebook reader app.
3. The GBS-related pagemap appears to be garbage, with the same caveat.
4. My GBS pagemap data comes from a very small sample, from which I am reluctant to generalize.

Thus, it is difficult to separate the pagemapped GBS anchors from the rest, and that may not even be desirable - so, at present, the posted beta routine does not give the option to preserve any GBS anchors. (Well, aside from the "don't use the routine at all" option.)

That is why I'd like to get more feedback on that point before sanctifying this version as a proper release. I'm fine with removing Google app-specific bloat, but not actually useful code.
