I have tried to use the ImageMagic tool myself, but I was not able to
get the right combination of options to the convert program.  So, what
I do is convert images (GIF or PNG) to eps, by using convert.  Then I
use a epstopng perl-script, which is based on the epstopdf script made
by Sebastian Rahtz, et al.  This writes the PNG files in the correct
resolution.

Strange.  Can you send me the eps you try to convert.  I'll try and
see what happends here at our tool-chain.
