I suggest to rename the old plugin to "Export via ghostscript", and the new 
one to "Export built-in format". But there might be better ideas. Once 
finished, we can look at whether the two can reasonably be merged.

I know it's not finished, yet, and I have not done serious testing, but here's 
two small issues I came across: For png() and jpeg(), apparently at least one 
of width or height will need to be specified as a parameter. Remove the 
<stretch/> on line 63, it makes the filename field small.

Looks promising, so far.

Regards
Thomas
