Thanks for the pointer.  The print PS to file worked pretty well.  Some 
of the shapes (Rounded rects in the FSM package) do not override the 
right method for this, but in general acceptable as a starting point.  
The text bounding boxes do not match the selected font in PS so text is 
not aligned the same as in the original, but that can be addressed as 
well.
