How does psfrag from LaTeX work internally? Perhaps we are able to
make something similar.


I don't know how about its internals, but here's a usage example. For  
instance, using some vector graphics program, I write a text label "alpha" on  
some figure, and I print this figure in an EPS file. Then, using PSfrag, right  
before \including the EPS file, I tell PSfrag to replace "alpha" with "$\alpha 
$":
\psfrag{alpha}{$\alpha$}
\includegraphics{some_eps_file}

I believe PSfrag works in conjunction with dvips. There's this PS file which  
may give you some clue:
texmf/dvips/psfrag/psfrag.pro
I can neither read TeX code nor PS code, but it is likely that it builds some  
sort of lookup table for the labels. If I can help anyway, please tell me.

There are those two other files:
texmf/tex/plain/graphics/psfrag.tex
texmf/tex/latex/misc/psfrag.sty
