[texhax] EPS for latex/dvips and PDF for pdflatex

[Hartmut Henkel]

This is more a matter for make/a Makefile, which does this automatic for
you; e. g. convert all xfig files in some directory into .ps, .eps, and
.pdf:

all:    alleps allps allpdf

alleps: $(patsubst %.fig,%.eps,$(wildcard *.fig))

allps:  $(patsubst %.fig,%.ps,$(wildcard *.fig))

allpdf: $(patsubst %.fig,%.pdf,$(wildcard *.fig)) \
        $(patsubst %.eps,%.pdf,$(wildcard *.eps))

%.eps:  %.fig
        fig2dev -Leps $< > $@

%.ps:   %.fig
        fig2dev -Lps -z A4 -c $< > $@

%.pdf:  %.eps
        epstopdf $<

%.pdf:  %.ps
        epstopdf $<

Beware: The indentation MUST be done by TABs! If you only need .eps ->
.pdf conversion, you can strip this down...

Greetings Hartmut
