I use the Adobe Postscript printer drivers that are bundled with Windows

Postscript printer and the output is redirected to an EPS file. The page
size and bounding box are automatically configured to match the picture
size.
This is the only reliable way that works with every file. libwmf doesn't
even support EMF files.
How does it work on Linux?
It works only on Windows. So if you use Windows applications that create
metafiles you also need to do the conversion while running Windows. The
conversion utility has a user interface that allows you to copy graphics
directly from other applications.
Conversion on Linux is very difficult because you would need a reliable
library that does the GDI to Postscript conversion. I don't think such a
thing exists.
