The best solution is "psfig" - which was posted in comp.sources.unix, and
available from uunet amongst other places.  It wants to see EPS files, but
it ain't terribly picky, so you can probably munge just about anything to
work without too much trouble.

You might want to see whether you can get the following directives to
work in your troff:
	\X'f<filename>'
and
	\X'p<token>'
The former *should* include <filename> in the postscript output, and
the latter will emit the token as-is in the postscript.
