With the following code I can draw an ellipse:
    25  dup  translate
     2  setlinewidth
     4  1  scale
     0  dup  4  0  360  arc   closepath   stroke
    showpage

But at east and west the line thickness is bigger as at north and
south. Is it possible to draw an ellipse which has a constant line
thickness?
