Using the latex compiler: [e]ps images should not be converted. all other image formats should be converted to eps. Using the pdflatex compiler: pdf and png images should not be converted. [e]ps images should be converted to pdf. all other image formats should be converted to png. I don't see any difficulty in writing a VectorImage external template to sit alongside the existing RasterImage template. > 4.

Sure, because we removed all the interesting converters from lib/configure. Anyway, I have a violent dislike for convertDefault.sh. > 5.
