SVG Output #39

This is on the edge of being out of scope. However, unless QGIS gets better at its SVG output, it remains useful. However, it will be a while before I get to this.

The idea would be to draw the lines, shapes and points of the layers in an SVG file. Somehow, it would have to be calculated based on projections, I'm certain there's some way to do that with GDAL.

They features would be drawn in some standard style, but categorized into groups based on certain field values. The user might have to specify how they want some things grouped. Perhaps class attributes could be used. This grouping would allow the user to easily go through and apply colors, line styles, and other things to a lot of features based on these values in Inkscape or some other program.

Labelling is probably the hardest, but there might be some labelling extensions for Inkscape.
