For bitmap-graphics I use PNG only (small size, portable), example:

  @image html billing_ext_arch.png
  @latexonly \begin{center} @endlatexonly
    @image latex billing_ext_arch.png width=10cm
  @latexonly \end{center} @endlatexonly

Unfortunately this doesn't work with the dvips driver of the graphicx
package, so you can't generate a dvi file from the code above. And even
the following will not work:

 $ cd latex
 $ make pdf

Since this only converts the dvi to pdf (via ps).
The only way is to use pdflatex:

 $ cd latex
 $ pdflatex refman

(Dimitri, perhaps you could add a 'pdflatex' target to the Makefile in the
generated latex directory.)

The alternative for latex is converting the bitmaps to EPS, but this costs
disk space and maintenance effort.
