Please don't. Include xy instead, I'm using it too. The postscript is
absolutely useless for documentation purposes, because it is difficult to
modify.
I think quite on the contrary, the possibility of including packages lowers the
barrier to write documentation, even if only a bit.
I.e., also include amsmath and amsfonts, please!
