The wrapping script is already working; with manual tweaks (well, by loading 
the svg file with inkscape, setting an option and saving back) we can have 
single-file svg files, that would be nice to speed up loading (opening one 
file versus 53 should save some seek time).

So I can work on this and have a conversion done in an evening of work...

After that, we must coordinate the pixmap cache rework with the card deck 
format change...

So should I add an entry to 
http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.1_Feature_Plan
for this, or is there any objection?
