| Ok, that explains it. While we are patching print.m: let's also put  
| in svg support. It's inkscape favourite format, and seems generally  
| more adopted in the opensource world. Also it seems rather easy, for  
| my example it worked just adding this:
| 
|    elseif (strcmp (dev, "svg"))
| 
|      new_terminal = dev;
| 
| into the large switch in print.m and add svg to the devices list in  
| the same file:
| 
|    dev_list = {"aifm" "corel" "fig" "png" "pbm" "dxf" "mf" "hpgl", ...
|             "ps" "ps2" "psc" "psc2" "eps" "eps2" "epsc" "epsc2" "emf","svg"};

I'll consider a patch + ChangeLog entry.
