[Therion] Inkscape import/export plugins

[Footleg]

OK, now using the latest version of the inkscape plug-in. Much improved
thanks! Having worked out how inkscape labels lines, I was able to bulk
label my line types as follows:

Wall lines and survey lines need to be labelled as such. I did this using
search and replace in a plain text editor. All my wall lines had the
property: class="c0"
So I replaced class="c0" with: class="c0" inkscape:label="line wall "

I don't know if the trailing space is needed, but I noticed it got created
in labels when I imported th2 files into inkscape so I just went with that.
All my survey lines were class="c4" so I was also able to label them by
search/replace in the svg file in a text editor too. Opening the edited svg
file in inkscape I can now export as th2. With this latest version of the
plug-in my scraps are labelled correctly using the layer names from
inkscape. To fix the coordinate range problem I found the following worked.

Before exporting from inkscape as th2, I scaled the area I was working with
to fit on an A2 page so that the coordinate range was suitable for Therion.

So now I have a workable th2 file containing a few scraps. I'll try to put
on some survey points and generate some output next.
