If bitmap graphics is needed, perhaps the best way is to use pdflatex which can
directly include JPEG/PNG/TIFF images.
Unfortunately, the most recent stable version (1.1.5fix1) doesn't have PDF
support, so you will have to export the file as latex and run pdflatex
yourself (the CVS version does have PDF support).
