[Therion] A couple of Therion updates: KML and line-rope

[Владимир Георгиев]

I like the app and would like to make it better as far as I can. So far I
am doing small patches here and there in features that I needed for my own
usage, nothing systematic. The source code is quite large and the features
are a lot, so the todo list will be endless :)
If you have suggestion about the html, kml or other outputs, let me know
and I'll see what I can do. For the kml I was wondering what else to put in
the description field besides the length and depth.

The next feature I was considering is the option to add images inside of
scraps(with "point image [file name]..."), and not only in the layout with
map-image. I need to research some more about inserting images in TEX and
Metapost and how to position them.

As for the Windows installer, I could build it, but I don't have the source
for the install script. I can recreate it if needed and if there is
interest...
If you are willing to take the risk, I can send you the compiled
therion.exe :)
