SVG.py - Construct/display SVG scenes.

The following code is a lightweight wrapper around SVG files. The metaphor
is to construct a scene, add objects to it, and then write it to a file
to display it.

This program uses ImageMagick to display the SVG files. ImageMagick also 
does a remarkable job of converting SVG files into other formats.

This is an enhanced Version of Rick Muller's Code from http://code.activestate.com/recipes/325823-draw-svg-images-in-python/
