As far as I can tell these are loaded by the pdf driver for the  
graphicx.sty package.

Don't use the graphic{s,x}.sty packages or don't work with pdf (use  
the dvips route).

In terminal :

open -a TeXShop `kpsewhich supp-pdf.tex`

This will open the first file which is heavily documented. A cursory  
read tells us that this file is giving pdf support and metapost->pdf  
support.

Should not.
