[Please see my other email about how to insert these into a buffer.]

Hmm, if we are going to use these we should probably write a script to
import them for our use.  It might be nice to do it in ELisp, or we
could use a Python or Shell script or something.

Do we have any ELisp code to manipulate SVG image files?

Otherwise, we could perhaps get away with some hacky regexps for this
(to avoid having to do a proper job with XML, which is rarely fun IME).

I welcome any opinions on how to go about doing this without
overly compromising my sanity.
