don't specify the option to graphicx, since distributions choose
whether to use dvips or pdftex as default if no driver is specified.
if you feel you must specify a driver, specify pdftex when you're
using it...

don't bother declaring a graphics rule, unless your files have non-
standard "extensions".  in this case, the command will have no effect
-- dvips driver code already defines a .eps rule, and pdftex driver
code has no eps code so eps files would fall over at a later stage.
