First, you should be able to embed eps files into latex. in latex there exist
different packages allowing you to scale and rotate your picture as much as
you want.
An alternative is to use ipe, a postscript editor, which can import postscript
files. He supports direct manipulation of postscript objects.

I think AIX doesn't support dynamic loading (at least, the way, the dlopen()
family of functions do it), so it could be possible that it can't load the plugins.
the octave package for example comes with a GPLed implementation of dlopen
specifically for AIX to make such nice things work again.
