a modified graphics package (however modified) doesn't solve the
portability problem -- old versions of packages remain on people's
machines for a very long time indeed.  (i've got tetex 1, 2 and 3 on
this machine, but then i'm that sort of person...)

if _you_ have the up-to-date package (which works with the latest pdftex
with the whizzy "selective" \write18) your document isn't going to work
any better on my old machine than would a document using
\UQincludegraphics
