Similarly, you can convert the \postscript call in that to
something like this:

\markup
\with-dimensions-from \null
\combine
  \translate #'(2 . -3)
  \path #0.2
        #'((moveto 0 0)
           (lineto 104 0)
           (lineto 104 -150)
           (lineto 0 -150)
           (closepath))
  \translate #'(3 . -4)
  \path #0.1
        #'((moveto 0 0)
           (lineto 102 0)
           (lineto 102 -148)
           (lineto 0 -148)
           (closepath))

You even get the advantage that this now works
with SVG output.

In the end we might support EPS, see Han-Wen's original
message.

Even if we don't, including PDF documents should become
supported, and one will be able to convert one's EPS
files into PDF to include them.
