This is script that I use to import eps files into Powerpoint. It uses ImageMagick's
convert utility. This will make the background transparent and switch black lines in the
plot to white. I find this useful if I use a gradient background on the slide or anything
besides a solid background (and not a white background, obviously).

convert -density 150x150 +antialias +negate -transparent black $1 `basename $1 .eps`.png
