uber-converter

Ãœber!

Ok, so maybe the über-converter is going to get a name change (vectersection anyone?) but at least I'm back to working on the Chromista hub now. This means lots of trudging to get through the binary XAR format (ever notice that binary formats used by C/C++ application try to twist your arm into pounding out reams of code to read them?) In this case, it's the PATH, PATH_FILLED, PATH_FILLED_STROKED, PATH_STROKED, etc. tags that are killing me. I guess I'm supposed to write four classes that inherit from PATH. Maybe if I can get that "it only takes a couple minutes per class" mindset, it will be okay.

Aside: I'm considering tagging half of my /svn/ repository with "svn propset cpan:adopt_me". Any takers?
