I was actually planning on using the Ming lib for this project. Is there a problem with just linking the ming lib into the extension statically?
Or even just compiling the needed bits of the Ming code directly into the extension?

Raymond,
Sorry to take so long on this, but we're not going to include this patch. There are a couple of reasons. The first is that this functionality can already be provided in Inkscape using spalah as an Inkscape extension. Spalah is definitly lacking on some ways that your plugin is good, but we'd like to start using the extension approach in the future, and spalah can do some things your code can't. Also, we really don't want to add a dependency on ming. I realize it is a configure option, but the reality is that no one compiles from source. If we don't make it the default, no one will ever see the code. It's the sad reality of open source today.
Thanks for your contribution, I hope that you will consider contributing to Spalah, or to Inkscape in other ways. Sorry again to take so long to get back to you.
