As a test of our new vector layer public API, I've started work on an SVG export plug-in in #GIMP

This patch adds initial support for exporting SVGs, based largely on code from /app/path/gimppath-export.c. It currently exports any vector layer a...

My hope is this will be helpful to people who want to export their projects for further work in dedicated vector graphics editors like #inkscape ! Feel free to share if there are any export options you think we should add (the immediate one is how to handle raster layers - ignore, embed, or link are the current options we're thinking)

We recently merged an initial version of vector layers in #GIMP ! Very happy that we were able to update Hendrik Boom's 2006 project and finally get it across the finish line. :) There's still plenty of UI/UX work to be done but I'm curious - what are some good "next steps" for vector layers in a raster editor? I assume vector layer masks would be helpful, along with the long-requested shape tool.
