Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This Perl script converts a MetaPost output file (with file extension .mps) into a self-contained (with all fonts embedded) Encapsulated PostScript file. Although MetaPost graphics are meant to be included in a TeX document, there are reasons to have them stand alone, e.g. debugging the graphics during the development processes.
