hm - epstopdf.sty (the package, not the script) can handle this
(conversion only when needed, i.e. pdf is missing or eps has been
updated). It is also important whether your includegraphics-command is
with or without file extension.

I couldn't read that discussion mentioned earlier (login required,
registration not working for me).
