+In TeX Live 2016 and later, a new suffix .mps (or .MPS) is supported
+by dvipdfmx and xdvipdfmx. Usual eps files are included by converting
+into pdf files with the help of Ghostscript. We are using -dEPSCrop
+option for Ghostscript in the conversion. In this case, we are forced
+to translate llx, lly, urx, and ury in \Ginclude@eps accordingly.
+On the other hand, eps files created by MetaPost are included directly
+without the help of Ghostscript. Thus the above translation should be
+negated by translating the origin, if we use \Ginclude@eps also for eps
+files created by MetaPost. The translation of the origin was the default
+in TeX Live 2015. However in TeX Live 2016, the origin is translated only
+if the option --mvorigin is given for dvipdfmx or xdvipdfmx. This feature
+may a bit be inconvenient. Thus we introduce a new command \Ginclude@mps
+which is used for files with a suffix .mps (or .MPS). In \Ginclude@mps,
+llx, lly, urx, and ury are natural compared with those in \Ginclude@eps.
+Thus --mvorigin should not be given in the case of \Ginclude@mps.
+
+In summary, there are two ways to include eps files created by MetaPost
+in TeX Live 2016 and later:
+(1) Use a suffix .mps (or .MPS) like foo.mps. In this case, don't give the
+ option --mvorigin for dvipdfmx and xdvipdfmx.
+(2) In other cases, such as foo.1, foo.2, foo.eps, foo.ps ..., the option
+ --mvorigin for dvipdfmx and xdvipdfmx is inevitable.
+
+Note that the option --mvorigin is relevant only for MetaPost-created
+eps files. The option does nothing for other files.
