POV-Ray export patch.
Hi,
I just filed a bug report for POV-Ray export which is broken in 0.47pre4. It appears to have been broken by a move to lib2geom where the path vector includes an extra closing segment even if the path is already closed (see 2geom/path.h). This resulted in extra lines being written out. In addition, there was a problem that existed in 0.46 where paths created by Text->Path may not have their last point exactly on top of the first point (differing sometimes by 0.0002 px). In this case, POV-Ray considers the path open and skips it.
I've attached a patch to the bug report that fixes both problems. I know this is late in the 0.47 release process but as it stands, export to .pov format is useless (POV-Ray fails to process the .pov file due to the extra badly-formatted lines). The patch only effects pov-out.cpp which is used only by POV-Ray export so it shouldn't break anything.

For anyone working on this, please take a look at the comment I added to the bugreport (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/451588). Not saying the code is wrong, it's just a bit more complicated than it could be.
In any case, thanks for fixing the stuff I broke. Sorry for that :-(
Ciao, Johan

Does anyone know if the JavaFX export is similarly broken? The output code is very similar.
I've been trying to get some actual JavaFX users to check things, but they seem very non-responsive (including Sun's official JavaFX contacts, etc)
So given the lack of any response at all from the JavaFX community, I feel fine leaving things for 0.47.1 or 0.48.
