Which epstopdf.exe?  CTAN://tex-archive/support/epstopdf/epstopdf.c ?

I sent a bug report to the author a few years ago but did not get any
response.  The last three bugfixes applied to epstopdf are missing,
hence I cannot recommend it as a replacement for the Perl version. 

There is no license information.  He says that it is a translation of
Sebastian's program, so it seems that he wants to have it under
Sebastian's license, but my experience is that programs which do not
come with a clear license always cause bellyache.

Regards,
  Reinhard
