That's useful -- I didn't know that. But will pdftex know that this is
the MetaPost kind of PostScript?
Anyway, with emp, the beginfig/endfigs are all implicit anyway, so I
don't have this option.

emp is short for Encapsulated MetaPost. The package is written by
Thorsten Ohl -- some docs are available here:

It's very close to what I want, but perhaps not quite it...
