[texhax] \special{} and postscript

[Matthew Leingang]

I was just reading the TDS today (really!) and they suggest that
texmf/tex/images/ is a place to put graphics that will be used in several
documents.  So maybe you can try putting it there and see if your multiple
instances of the class will find it.
