In fact, it would be nice to have the MP source code create a multipage PDF (one page for each MetaPost figure). We could then encourage users to use (for LaTeX) the "pdfpages" package specifically with the \includepdf[pages={1}]{foo.pdf} (for example) command for each instance to include each graphic in the PDFLaTeX document.<br>
