Howdy,

Thanks for the information. Basically it sounds like the set accepted  
by pdftex.

Should I get in touch with the folks that support the epstopdf  
package? That package should (using --shell-escape) let the graphicx  
package create a pdf of the eps file, if one doesn't already exist,  
and then include the pdf file. It seem to fail when using xelatex and  
I suspect that the package is doing ``driver sniffing'' and doesn't  
support xetex.

Good Luck,
