Hg eb32cc96f2 don't embed the SVG inside the .shape, link to it

Dia doesn't seem to support complex SVG in the .shape? Or is the problem
elsewhere?
Anyway, just xlinking to the SVG file yields better results, and avoids
parsing the SVG ourselves, so it may be better.
Rely on ImageMagick to get the aspect ratio and dimensions then. Dia
supports abstract coordinates (we'll max them to 64x64).

Dia is an open-source diagram editor. It supports SVG pictograms. svg-to-dia converts ordinary SVG in the format supported by Dia.

How to use

Prepare files:

svg-to-dia --name my-shapes my-file1.svg my-file2.svg my-file3.svg

the above command will create a sheets/ and a shapes/ folders.

Move the generated files to dia's folder

mv sheets/* ~/.dia/sheets
mv shapes/* ~/.dia/shapes

Don't forget to restart dia
If you intend to publish, make sure to edit the .sheet files to add human-readable descriptions (multiple languages if you can)
... and to edit the .shape files to add better coordinates of attachment points
