Would anyone object if I switch PS and EPS import from using pstoedit/skconvert to this:
- convert ps to pdf with ps2pdf from Ghostscript
- import pdf to Inkscape?
Reasons:
- Ghostscript is doubtlessly the most competent open source software for dealing with Postscript; it is cross-platform, actively updated and is much more commonly installed than anything else we've been using
- our PDF importer is the best importer we have, and it works better than any third party things that claim to produce svg
- for multipage postscript, we get for free a dialog for selecting the page (and later, the option to import multiple pages into one multipage SVG will only have to be coded once for PDF and work for PS at once).
Testing by people in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190424 as well as my own experience tells me this route works quite well.
