There is already an initial support, it is currently only in 1.1.6cvs
(which is a development version), currently it allows for the inclusion of
EPS and/or PNG files, but you must have both formats in order to generate
both EPS or PNG (it doesn't add the extension to the latex output).
The next stage is to add an auto conversion program to create the needed
format from (almost) any input format using an external image converter
(like ImageMagick).
The stage after that will be to add inline viewing (though I might drop in
some other features before I do the inline viewing). For now it just shows
a rectangle stating the filename that is included there and says that
inline viewing is not supported.
If you have feature requests for the Graphics Inset, I'm the person to ask
for them.
