You can use netpbm; it's in Cygwin. The pipeline to make your
conversion is:

        jpegtopnm foo.jpg | pnmtops > foo.eps

This actually produces EPSF, which I think groff has no problem with.

If you prefer the convert utility, their page - http:// 
imagemagick.org/ -
links to a binary that should work for you.

Hope that helps!
