Just use the full extension now, it will be converted automatically.

Fixed, soon to be commited to CVS.

Right now I'm supporting the basics, and only what I saw in InsetFig,
I'll write it in my wishlist file (at the header of insetgraphics.C).
It would help if you could provide the needed latex command to use, I
will do it myself some other time, but if it's a trival command and you
provide it, I'll do it ASAP.
