Author: Herbert Voß
License: gpl
Caption: A script to compile pstricks documents via pdflatex.
Description: The script extracts the preamble of the document and runs
  all

   '\begin{postscript}...\end{postscript}'

      *'\begin{pspicture}...\end{pspicture}' and

      *'\pspicture...\endpspicture'

   separately through LaTeX with the same preamble as the original
  document; thus it creates EPS, PNG and PDF files of these snippets.
  In a final PDFLaTeX run the script replaces the environments with
  '\includegraphics' to include the processed snippets.

   Detail documentation is acquired from the document itself via
  Perldoc.
