Just knowing that xfig has beta support for svg is a good start,
because in my first attempt to incorporate SVG output in xcircuit,
I came up with very little in the way of open-source code, or any
good description of the SVG format, for that matter. I'll take a
look at xfig and perhaps I can grab some code to create a proper
output formatter for xcircuit.
XCircuit used to have a "general purpose" format that came with the
Python version, which I didn't transfer to Tcl because Tcl didn't
have dictionary types. Now that Tcl 8.5 does have dictionary types,
I may try to resurrect the general-purpose format and write an SVG
output converter in Tcl.
