I'm sure that Sketch could be modified trivially to help with this
(or, the non-GUI portion of sketch reused as a utility); it has
the EPS-reading code and can write out the PDF operators as part
of the Piddle back end, which was what I wrote before ReportLab.

Only I can't get the damned thing running and switching my life to a 
Linux desktop seems extreme ;-)
