EPS and make PDF

In case this information is useful:


- When PDF generation worked the order of the EPS and PNG <imagedata>
tags didn't seem to matter, as it worked either way (albeit with broken
headers).


- PDF generation fails unless the file paths in <figure> do *not* have
an initial dot:

"figs/boot.eps" works, but
"./figs/boot.eps" doesn't


- EPS in the Installation Guide were generated with ImageMagick using
"convert -density", e.g.

convert -density 200 in.png ps3:out.eps


- 800x600 images were created at 200 dpi, 640x480 images at 160 dpi.


- EPS Levels 1 and 2 generate files that are 500k+ in size, so Level 3
was used.


- PDF generation fails anyway with latest versions of the IG document:
