@Michael: in physics at least, there are still many important publishers
that prefer eps (e.g. [1, 2]) figure format.

@George: you can produce a standalone eps file using latex and dvips, e.g.;
plot (1:10)
print -depsstandalone foo.tex
system ("latex foo.tex; dvips foo.dvi -o foo.eps")

But I still think not having to rely on latex being installed to support
latex interpreter would be great! Looking forward to hearing from your
tests.
