Well, wmf is more a vector format than a raster format, so PIL not
exactly the best tool to use here. My drawing program Sketch has an
import filter for wmf, although it's incomplete. Sketch can, of course,
export as EPS and even has a commandline utility for this. See my .sig
for a URL.

You might also want to have a look at libwmf:
