Using an idea from Artis Rozentals in this enhancement request:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604309&aid=957916&...
I've implemented all the of the .inkmod files to do this. Basically it goes like this:
EPS -> PS -> Sketch -> SVG
Kind of convoluted, but most users won't have to see that. To see this work you'll need to have pstoedit, ghostscript, and Sketch installed. If other people could look at this and comment that would be great. If you have those installed, all you need to do is open a bunch of EPS files.

Clever. ;-) Longer term it'd be nice to be able to do this without the Sketch dependency, but this certainly does solve the problem!
I've added a news item to the homepage about this. Make sure to also include mention of need for installing Sketch in some of the documentation where user's can find it.

Why is sketch needed? pstoedit can itself produce svg.
Looking in ~/.bash_history, it looks like I used
pstoedit -ssp -dt -f plot-svg <ps/eps/pdf file> blah.svg
One may need to add either -split (and change blah.svg to blah-%d.svg) or specify -page 1.
pjrm.

Well, my understanding is that SVG plug-in produces incorrect results unless you pay for it. I could only find it as a binary for x86 Linux, which didn't make it as useful for me (running PPC).

I wrote the author and asked if he'd be willing to opensource the SVG component and didn't get a reply :( (didn't really expect a positive one, but I thought I'd try)
