The author of the c-coded (?) version suggests to translate his  
epstopdf to OS X, using

gcc epstopdf.c -o epstopdf

epstopdf.c can be downloaded from ctan. Is this dangerous? And which  
of the following is the file I better backup before doing this?

/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/epstopdf
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/epstopdf
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/scripts/tetex/epstopdf.pl

Thanks a lot -

daniel
