Hi,

I just pushed an inital rewrite of the XFig import filter as a branch
	filters-karbon-xfig-recreate2012
on the main repo.

The filter already converts a big part of the xfig 3.2 format to ODG in its 
current state. Work left to do:
* making text layout really work
* support all arrow types
* support the fill structure patterns

And perhaps not easily done:
* convert X-splines to something ODG/SVG supports

If anybody has any knowledge on that one, I really welcome any pointers here, 
have no experience on graph calculations.

For pretty picture see http://frinring.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/reading-other-
files-from-the-past/

Cheers
Friedrich
