Well, I have a Qt program rather than a script, that removes some of the
elements that are not needed for proper rendering. Actually, my latest
version goes a bit too far, but it should be easy enough to comment
out the wrong optimization.

It removes quite a lot of unneeded tags; many transformations do not
actually hinder further editing, though some do to various degrees. A
few of the transformations are in line with what inkscape is supposed
to do in the upcoming version.

In any case, an old version of the svg optimizer is here... not sure
is a good one, though.

I'll try to dig out the sources and post them somewhere...
If there is interest, I could put it up in SVN somewhere.

Oh, there was also the png-to-svn deck script, but that needs to run
once only...
And inkscape could be used to make svn encode the png files afterwards.
