+package provides environments where you can place MetaPost commands, and means
+of using that code as fragments for building up figures to include in your
+document.  So, with Emp, the procedure is to run your document with LaTeX, run
+MetaPost, and then complete running your document in the normal way.  Emp is
+therefore useful for keeping illustrations in synchrony with the text.  It
+also frees you from inventing descriptive names for PostScript files that fit
+into the confines of file system conventions.")
