This was really for historical reasons: the fink package has had this option during its entire five years of existence, and changing it would have meant that transfig suddenly started behaving differently.

I've now worked around this by creating two new packages in fink's unstable tree which will replace the old transfig package. transfig- epsfig is for users who need the historical behavior of the fink package (although that is now deprecated). transfig-graphicx is for users who want the modern behavior, appropriate for use with the latex graphicx option.

Hope this helps.

  Hi,

  I just spend a few hours on a problem with a LaTeX document that
was working fine on Linux station but does not work on MacOSX.
  I compile the document with pdflatex and include several figures
with \includegraphics{}. I also include a XFig figure that I convert
with fig2dev (in the your transfig package) into pdf-combined-latex.

  Can you tell me why your patch to upstream sources defines EPSFIG ?
In fig2dev/Imakefile, the line #105 "XCOMM DDEPSFIG = -DEPSFIG" is
replaced by "DDEPSFIG = -DEPSFIG"
  The comment above this line also explicitly says that epsfig is
deprecated. So why do you enable it ?

  Best regards
