Is there a way to automatically figure out and insert the bounding box in a postscript file?
If you have Ghostscript 6.0 (or later), you can use a perl script that will automatically find the bounding box and correct the postscript file (or add the info if there is none). The script is 
    </~ntg/scripts/bbox_add.pl>
Be sure to make it executable: 
    chmod +x bbox_add.pl
To see the options and the defaults, 
    bbox_add.pl --help
Here is what the "help" says at present: 
 The script bbox_add.pl adds a tight bounding box to postscript files.
  It uses gs with the bbox option.
  
 The only mandatory command-line arguments are the names of the files
  to be processed.  Wildcards are allowed (e.g. *.tex will process all
  of the TeX files.)
  
 The options are
   --help                print this help
   --version             version number
   --keep                keep original file, with ".orig" appended to name
   --padding=i           add an "i" point border around box (default is 3)
