There's a macro package called 'psfig' (available for both troff and
TeX) that allows you to include encapsulated PostScript figures (or
text, or whatever) in your source.  The EPS could come from
Illustrator, or from any program that generates EPS files (or even
plain old PostScript files, as long as you're willing to add the
bounding box information yourself).

Basically, it relies on the information in the file's "BoundingBox:"
line to determine the amount of space to reserve, etc.

Works quite well, and it's available in all the usual archive locations.
