Hi Aaron
Okay, I can take some time to get up to speed with C/C++ but if someone could check my code over after that would be good. Could you point me to the abandoned projects? Why were they abandoned?
Not to push the Python thing but I was wondering, would PyGTK create another dependency(I assume it would) Would this be a problem if it did? C/C++ is really for serious programming but other languages like Python are great for us novice programmers. Would this get more developers involved and allow for fine tuning by users with basic programming skills?
I will need a little time to catch up on C/C++ probably a month or more.

I stink at C/C++ so I might need some help adding the menu items to Inkscape but the underlying Python should not pose a problem.
If you still think C/C++ that might be a much better way to go. You will have access to more information in the Inkscape internals and you could use (and improve) lib2geom to do the curve conversion/approximation much more quickly and flexibly. Plus you could base your work on the abandoned GSoC DXF project from two years ago. We could resurrect that work so it isn't wasted and get way more out of this in the end. Quite honestly the little python script was just a stop gap and there are limits to what we can do with it.
