/ENCAPSULATED works pretty well except for one annoying thing: it
doesn't place the Postscript 'showpage' command, so you can't actually
print the resulting .eps file. While it might have been the case that
in the stone ages, you weren't allowed to put 'showpage' in an
encapsulated PS file, that requirement hasn't existed for ~10-15
years.
