purifyeps – Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX

While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world.

Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that METAPOST outputs.
