Subject: SVG import

My first real AbiWord hack-job:
A fairly major write/re-write of SVG recognition & the beginnings of a
parser. A *LOT* more to be done, and I want to do it. It would be great if
SVG import was stable & non-DEBUG by the time we feature-freeze.
With SVG support, we would have the option of WMF support as well. (I'm
thinking of adding an ultra-light build option to libwmf specifically for
use with AbiWord.)
No visible graphics yet, but several segs unfaulted.
I'm still fairly new to C++, so please excuse the C-style bits. Also, the
UT_svg class I've created I'm thinking of changing to GR_SVGParser.
The patches need to be applied in order:
svg-first.patch
svg-second.patch
I've only tested the GTK build, but that works on XDarwin & x86RH7 Linux.
Regards, Frank
ps. I'll understand if you postpone this til after 0.9.3, but the sooner
they're committed the better, I think.
