Hi Inkscape list!

I've worked on a Vagrantfile* over the past few months, that is able to bring up a virtual build- and test machine for Inkscape. The VM is running on Lubuntu linux (lightweight Ubuntu) so you can actually run the inkscape binary produced by the build. You can, of course, modify the Inkscape source code within the VM, and rebuild.

So if you got Vagrant and VirtualBox up and running, creating a development environment for Inkscape is just a "vagrant up" away. Because of this, it is relatively simple to develop Inkscape regardless on what OS&machine you are on, be it Windows, Mac or Linux - as long as you can install VirtualBox and Vagrant you are good to go.

I'd love feedback and/or pull requests.

* The Vagrantfile is the "recipe" used to build a VM using Vagrant. Vagrant automates the creation and management of virtual machines on a computer. It supports VM ware, VirtualBox and more.
