note that tackat has done pretty much the same thing for marble, though he 
just used a perl script iirc. it's in there with the marble source somewhere.

something that you could also do that can reduce things significantly is to 
get reduce the precision of the floating point values. it probably isn't 
necessary to have all 16 decimal places that inkscape tends to put in 
there ;) 3 or 4 is probably plenty of sub-pixel perfection. this shaves 
another 7% or so off the size of the files ime, even more with files with 
tons of items.
