Sure, feel free to follow up on this. (I presume you checked that you
have --shell-escape enabled in your xelatex engine or equivalent?) It
would be nice to have such packages work out-of-the-box.
I believe another possible approach is to just pass the .eps filename
on to the driver, and configure xdvipdfmx to use a distiller (e.g.,
ghostscript) on the fly; there's a setting in the dvipdfmx.cfg file
for this. It might not be enabled by default. And I guess you'd have
to add .eps to the list of extensions with a new graphics rule.
(Sorry, I don't remember the details of this stuff.)
