[OS X TeX] OG 4 and eps export

[Chris Goedde]

I also got the same reply from the omni people. I knew I should have 
tested the beta ...

BTW, it's relatively easy (though a pain) to snip out the cruft in the 
current eps export in TextEdit. There's a bit at the beginning (before 
the first %!) and a lot (the actual preview, I think) at the end, after 
the %%EOF.
