I was going to say libwmf only does import but it goes to show how long it
has been since I read the webpage, they now have experimental WMF export
(and I think it is brilliant that it now has a loader for gdkpixbuf,
every graphics program should have one!)

Although the libwmf page talks about the possibility of adding
support for other file formats inlcuding EMF it doesnt do so yet.

Libemf is a seperate project
http://libemf.sourceforge.net/

Hope that helps
