What you describe is the way for the diligent half of the mailing
list. The lazy rest of us may prefer the `psfixbb' script by
Carsten Dominik (http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~dominik/Tools/psfixbb/)
which does the whole thing for you. Just run it like this:
  psfixbb file1.eps [file2.eps [.. filen.eps]]
and it overwrites the %%BoundingBox.

Note that this script requires Ghostscript and Perl (which are
normally present on any Unixish machine) and the utilities `pnmfile'
and `pnmcrop' from the netpbm package.
