I'm using my own parser. We evaluated libwmf but we were rather unimpressed 8-)
Still working on EMF.. The good thing about EMF is that the documentation

Microsoft has the nasty habbit of destroying old documentation.

There might be some rounding going on somewhere but it isn't intentional. 
The extents are taken into account.

Do you happen to have a win32 build handy? I would like to try it on my WMFs.
