[texhax] pdflatex : multi figure + one table : \\, aligning figures

[Bryan W. Lepore]

[abbrev. pdflatex code below]

i'd like to get a long figure aligned left, then three small figures 
stacked on the right, then table on the bottom.

+--------+---------+
| long   | short 1 |
|        |---------+
| figure | short 2 |
|        |---------+
|        | short 3 |
+--------+---------+
|     table        |
+------------------+

the table position is ok.  i am trying \\ after the figures, but have 
inconsistent results : seems dependent on figure scaling, maybe rotation.


i can keep hammering away, but : is this even possible given the code 
below, or am i hoping for too much with the figure env?
