Bug Description

When trying this extension on Windows machines, I encountered problems when people's usernames contained spaces. I also realised that going via dvips was inefficient. This patched version fixes both issues at once. It does not replace pstoedit with https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/367446 - I don't see the problem in the current version of pstoedit, which seems to make use of ghostscript to do the svg rendering.

Actually, on further investigation, it seems that pdf2svg is a little bit nicer than pstoedit: it doesn't produce so much unnecessary "noice" on its stderr. So attached is a new patch which incorporates that offered in https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/367446 along with my patch to handle pathnames with spaces in them.

Note that the patch to inkex.py is purely for Python 3.x compatibility (where x >= 3).

Oh. See my latest comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/367446 - this means that the latest patch is badly broken, unfortunately.
