Now when EMF export works on Windows only, and some import features are, in opposite, UNIX-only, I wonder what the official POV is. Is it "we can't provide native import/export on all supported platforms now, so we do the best we can"? (I hope I'm not sounding too negative)
It's impossible for us to implement Postscript import without using Ghostscript -- even pstoedit is based on it. A Postscript interpreter is just too big an effort to do from scratch, and Ghostscript is the only usable open source one.
If we want Postscript import on Windows, maybe we should consider bundling Ghostscript as part of the Inkscape package.
