Peter was asking for something different, I believe. \clip do the thing well but you have to measure a bb somewhere, e.g. in GhostView. Since \externalfigure have to know bb then an option 'clip' can do that without manual measuring. There might be even en extension: apart from 'clip' option there could also be 'bb=10 20 100 200' option for overwritting original boundingbox. Clipping a figures would be a bit more strightforward.
