Where is the problem?  Just use one empfile (?) environment per
graphic.

% Local Variables:
% LaTeX-command: "latex -shell-escape"

Actually, to my own surprise, while scanning through variables for
running LaTeX, I hit upon

LaTeX-write18-enabled-p's value is t

*If non-nil, insert automatically the \write18 calling metapost.
When disabled, you have to use mpost on the mp files automatically 
produced by emp.sty and then re-LaTeX the document.

You can customize this variable.

Defined in `tex-style'.

I have no idea what this is for, what it does, and why in the world it
would happen to be globally set to "t" without me asking for it.
Looks like a security hole.
