  this comes up every so often.
  if you have fig2dev (which may come bundled with xfig), you
can save your graphics as xfig and then use fig2dev -L emf
to save in extended metafile format.

  the other answer that has been suggested is to install R
for windows under Wine (assuming you're running on Intel
hardware).
